Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Chargers.

The Chargers' one glaring miss is edge rusher, a need they left exactly as they found it.

The Fields value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The cost of the Washington Jr. reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Kayden McDonald
In No. 22 they get an anchor for the defensive front. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick55 Rnd2 Gennings Dunker
Gennings Dunker at the Round 2 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick86 Rnd3 Malachi Fields
A slide stopped in the 86th overall pick, with Malachi Fields worth more than the price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick123 Rnd4 Mike Washington Jr.
They went early on Mike Washington Jr. in pick 123, and the value did not follow. It fills a real need, too.
Pick202 Rnd6 Bud Clark
Bud Clark in slot 202 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
