Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Chargers.

Every other box got a look, but edge rusher did not. The Chargers will head to camp with the same hole they walked in with.

The Pregnon pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The roster is better shaped than it was, with interior defensive lineman chief among the fixes.

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

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Kayden McDonald
In the Round 1 slot they get a run-stuffing presence up front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick55 Rnd2 Emmanuel Pregnon
A tidy bit of business in pick 55, where Emmanuel Pregnon graded well above the range. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick86 Rnd3 Genesis Smith
They paid sticker price for Genesis Smith in Round 3, Pick 22, and that is fine. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick123 Rnd4 Bryce Lance
A tidy little value on Bryce Lance in the 123rd pick, a step better than break-even. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick202 Rnd6 Jadon Canady
No edge and no loss on Jadon Canady in pick No. 202; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
