Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Chargers a B.

The Chargers spent real capital to be 117 picks early on Jamaree Caldwell, and the board is going to hold them to it. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

However the rest shakes out, Emmanwori at that price is a win they earned. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Interior defensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In pick 22 they get an every-down engine for the run game, outstanding value to boot.
Pick55 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
They will replay Nick Emmanwori at the 55th pick for years; that is how good the value is. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick86 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Omarr Norman-Lott in Round 3, Pick 22. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick124 Rnd4 Terrance Ferguson
They paid sticker price for Terrance Ferguson in No. 124, and that is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick159 Rnd5 Darius Alexander
Circle this one: Darius Alexander at pick No. 159 is a fall that decides a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick177 Rnd5 Jordan Hancock
Jordan Hancock at slot 177 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick183 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II slipping to the 183rd pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick201 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
Value with a capital V on Jaylen Reed in the Round 6 slot, a genuine coup. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick215 Rnd6 Jamaree Caldwell
A big swing on Jamaree Caldwell at pick 215, well ahead of any board in the building. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick220 Rnd7 Kyle Williams
A quiet steal in Round 7, Pick 2: Kyle Williams for less than the market said. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick253 Rnd7 Bryson Nesbit
Value said wait; Bryson Nesbit in slot 253 says they were not listening. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
