Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Chargers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Chargers started one anyway for Jamaree Caldwell, 79 picks ahead of schedule. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

Landing Monheim that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with interior defensive lineman the one that mattered most.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Colston Loveland
In Round 1, Pick 22 they get a matchup weapon at tight end at fair value.
Pick55 Rnd2 Marcus Mbow
A clean, defensible pick in the 55th overall pick with a little surplus value in Marcus Mbow. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick86 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
Omarr Norman-Lott slid further than he should have, and pick No. 86 is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick124 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
No drama and no debate, Darius Alexander went about where he belonged in slot 124. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick159 Rnd5 Damien Martinez
A straight-up fair deal on Damien Martinez at the Round 5 slot, value and slot in agreement. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick177 Rnd5 Jonah Monheim
They will replay Jonah Monheim at No. 177 for years; that is how good the value is. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick183 Rnd6 Jordan Hancock
A big swing on Jordan Hancock at pick No. 183, well ahead of any board in the building. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick201 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
A running back of that caliber at slot 201 is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick215 Rnd6 Kyle Monangai
Value with a capital V on Kyle Monangai in pick 215, a genuine coup. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick220 Rnd7 Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin at the 220th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It fills a real need, too.
Pick253 Rnd7 Jamaree Caldwell
Jamaree Caldwell at the 253rd overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
