Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall C+
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Chargers did enough to get by: C+.

Nobody else had Keylan Rutledge anywhere near pick 55. The Chargers did, by 65 spots, and that gap is the whole story. The good and the questionable cancel out to a C+.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. However the rest shakes out, Reese at that price is a win they earned.

Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

So much rides on Arvell Reese that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
The board had Arvell Reese higher than slot 22, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick55 Rnd2 Keylan Rutledge
They reached into another round for Keylan Rutledge, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick86 Rnd3 Logan Jones
This one needs a full-page explanation: Logan Jones in Round 3, Pick 22, miles early. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick123 Rnd4 Jalon Kilgore
They let Jalon Kilgore come to them and pounced at the Round 4 slot. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick202 Rnd6 Barion Brown
They took Barion Brown at par in No. 202, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
