Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall
B-
ValueC
NeedA-
TradesB-
FutureB-
The Chargers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-. The Chargers torched the value chart for A'Mauri Washington, taking him 26 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.
The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with interior defensive lineman the one that mattered most.
All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.
Pick Analysis
Pick55
Rnd2
A'Mauri Washington
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for A'Mauri Washington. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick86
Rnd3
Nick Marsh
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Nick Marsh. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick123
Rnd4
Kade Pieper
A straight-up fair deal on Kade Pieper at the 123rd pick, value and slot in agreement. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick202
Rnd6
Smith Snowden
Smith Snowden in No. 202 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
