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

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Chargers shredded theirs for Michael Barrett. He came off 79 spots early, and the room will hear about it.

Harden at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.

They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The skill positions did well by the weekend.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Brock Bowers
In pick No. 5 they get a seam-stretching tight end. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
A conviction pick on Kris Jenkins at No. 37 that the board grades a round light. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick69 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
Value with a capital V on Kingsley Suamataia in the Round 3 slot, a genuine coup. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick106 Rnd4 Kalen King
This one needs a full-page explanation: Kalen King in the 106th pick, miles early. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick139 Rnd5 Michael Barrett
A big swing on Michael Barrett at slot 139, well ahead of any board in the building. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick183 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
They reached into another round for Frank Gore Jr., and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick223 Rnd7 Myles Harden
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Myles Harden in No. 223, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick256 Rnd7 Solomon Byrd
They went early on Solomon Byrd in the 256th overall pick, and the value did not follow. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
