Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall
B
ValueB
NeedB+
TradesB-
FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Chargers. There is a lot to like until you notice edge rusher is still a hole. The Chargers never got to the one that mattered most. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.
The Thieneman pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. They left with interior defensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.
In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
Pick Analysis
Pick22
Rnd1
Kayden McDonald
Kayden McDonald in No. 22 is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick55
Rnd2
Dillon Thieneman
A slide stopped in pick No. 55, with Dillon Thieneman worth more than the price. A minor itch, scratched.
