Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
McNeil-Warren should have been long gone. The Chargers pounced, and earned a B-.

Thirty-one other rooms let Emmanuel McNeil-Warren slide, and the Chargers were the ones holding the card at the 86th overall pick. Highway robbery. 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. The cost of the Corleone reach is exactly the players who went right after him. Interior defensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Dontay Corleone
In the 22nd pick they get a run-stuffing presence up front, though they paid up to get him. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick55 Rnd2 Emmanuel Pregnon
They read the board right and Emmanuel Pregnon was the payoff at slot 55. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick86 Rnd3 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren at pick 86 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick123 Rnd4 Bryce Lance
A slide stopped in No. 123, with Bryce Lance worth more than the price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick202 Rnd6 DJ Harvey
Quietly one of the better values of the day, DJ Harvey at Round 6, Pick 23. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
