Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Chargers a B-.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Chargers started one anyway for Zavion Thomas, 23 picks ahead of schedule. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Slaughter pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Olaivavega Ioane
In pick No. 22 they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick59 Rnd2 Jake Slaughter
A tidy bit of business in Round 2, Pick 27, where Jake Slaughter graded well above the range. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick92 Rnd3 Darrell Jackson Jr.
Darrell Jackson Jr. at the 92nd overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick106 Rnd4 Jack Endries
Jack Endries in the 106th pick is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick123 Rnd4 Keylan Rutledge
A straight-up fair deal on Keylan Rutledge at pick 123, value and slot in agreement. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick127 Rnd4 J.C. Davis
A clean, defensible pick in No. 127 with a little surplus value in J.C. Davis. It fills a real need, too.
Pick165 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
Nice patience on Davison Igbinosun, who had no business lasting to No. 165. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick202 Rnd6 Zavion Thomas
They reached a country mile for Zavion Thomas at the 202nd pick, and the board is aghast. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
