Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Chargers fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Jamaree Caldwell; the Chargers did not wait, grabbing him 95 spots ahead at No. 220. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

Getting Shough where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

The Luke Musgrave deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In pick 23 they get a security blanket over the middle, outstanding value to boot.
Pick55 Rnd2 Omarr Norman-Lott
Omarr Norman-Lott at the Round 2 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick86 Rnd3 Malachi Moore
They jumped the gun on Malachi Moore, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick87 Rnd3 Kalel Mullings
Kalel Mullings at the 87th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick124 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
They paid sticker price for Darius Alexander in the 124th overall pick, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick159 Rnd5 Damien Martinez
A straight-up fair deal on Damien Martinez at pick No. 159, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
Pick177 Rnd5 Jordan Hancock
Jordan Hancock at slot 177 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick183 Rnd6 Tyler Shough
Tyler Shough in the 183rd pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick201 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
Steal is underselling it; Jaylen Reed at the 201st overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick215 Rnd6 Luke Lachey
Taking Luke Lachey in pick No. 215 is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. It fills a real need, too.
Pick220 Rnd7 Jamaree Caldwell
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jamaree Caldwell this early at the Round 7 slot. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick253 Rnd7 Jake Briningstool
Jake Briningstool slipping to Round 7, Pick 35 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
