Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B
ValueC NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Chargers worked the phones like thieves and earned a B.

If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Chargers, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. Evans falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The cost of the Jones reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 A'Mauri Washington
In pick No. 23 they get a disruptive interior force, even if it was a touch early. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick55 Rnd2 Kelley Jones
A reach for Kelley Jones in the 55th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick86 Rnd3 Kade Pieper
They took Kade Pieper at par in No. 86, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick98 Rnd3 Ashton Hampton
They paid a round early for Ashton Hampton in slot 98, more than the board wanted. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick123 Rnd4 Jaylen McClain
Jaylen McClain at the Round 4 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick137 Rnd4 Justin Evans
Value with a capital V on Justin Evans in pick 137, a genuine coup. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick179 Rnd5 Benjamin Brahmer
By-the-book stuff, Benjamin Brahmer at the 179th pick squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick202 Rnd6 Sammy Omosigho
Sammy Omosigho in Round 6, Pick 23 is fair value, right on his grade. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
