Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall
B-
ValueB
NeedB
TradesB-
FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Chargers a B-. You can draft well and still miss the point. The Chargers did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to edge rusher, which was the need that mattered most. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.
On the needs board they went 2 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most. The skill positions did well by the weekend.
All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.
Pick Analysis
Pick5
Rnd1
Brock Bowers
In slot 5 they get a mismatch in the passing game. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick37
Rnd2
Quinyon Mitchell
Quinyon Mitchell at the 37th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick69
Rnd3
Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in pick 69. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
