Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesC+ FutureB
The Chargers checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Chase Bisontis at Round 3, Pick 22 is 28 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. That is a linebacker worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

They went 3 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Kayden McDonald
In pick No. 22 they get a load in the middle. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick60 Rnd2 Sonny Styles
Circle this one: Sonny Styles at the 60th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick86 Rnd3 Chase Bisontis
Chase Bisontis at the Round 3 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick123 Rnd4 Logan Jones
Logan Jones at No. 123 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It fills a real need, too.
Pick202 Rnd6 Barion Brown
Barion Brown at the 202nd pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick220 Rnd7 PJ Williams
A reach on PJ Williams in pick 220; the board had better options right there. The roster fit checks out.
