Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Chargers won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Chargers would have aced it. Keith Randolph Jr. at Round 4, Pick 6 is 48 spots clear of where he belonged.

McCaffrey at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In Round 1, Pick 7 they get a long-term starter on the line. A real need, handled.
Pick37 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
They paid a round early for Ja'Tavion Sanders in pick No. 37, more than the board wanted. The roster fit checks out.
Pick38 Rnd2 Quinyon Mitchell
Quinyon Mitchell in No. 38 lands just on the right side of the ledger. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick69 Rnd3 Marshawn Kneeland
Marshawn Kneeland at slot 69 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick106 Rnd4 Keith Randolph Jr.
A big swing on Keith Randolph Jr. at the 106th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick139 Rnd5 Audric Estime
Audric Estime in the 139th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick183 Rnd6 Luke McCaffrey
You do not let a wide receiver like Luke McCaffrey reach Round 6, Pick 8 and blink. They did not. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick184 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
A tidy little value on Curtis Jacobs in the Round 6 slot, a step better than break-even. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick223 Rnd7 Kenny Logan Jr.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Kenny Logan Jr. at the 223rd overall pick is the proof. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick256 Rnd7 Jase McClellan
Jase McClellan at pick No. 256 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
