Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B+
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
Nobody dealt better than the Chargers this weekend: B+.

If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Chargers, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend. Good, not great, and the B+ says as much.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Cypress II. The Beebe reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

The Jerry Jeudy deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
In No. 12 they get a long-term starter on the line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Byron Murphy II
A reach on Byron Murphy II in slot 37; the board had better options right there. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick69 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
A reach for Cooper Beebe in the Round 3 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
Pick105 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen in Round 4, Pick 5 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick142 Rnd5 Drake Nugent
Drake Nugent at the 142nd overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick183 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
A conviction pick on Curtis Jacobs at pick 183 that the board grades a round light. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick226 Rnd7 Fentrell Cypress II
Fentrell Cypress II slid further than he should have, and pick No. 226 is lovely value for the cornerback. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
