ValueC- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Chargers landed square in the muddy middle: C+.

Somehow the biggest item on the list survived the weekend. The Chargers never addressed edge rusher, and it is the kind of gap that lingers.

Every board in the league had Ioane lower, and that gap is the story. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

So much rides on Olaivavega Ioane that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Olaivavega Ioane
In the 22nd pick they get a long-term starter on the line, reach and all. A real need, handled.
Pick55 Rnd2 Lee Hunter
Lee Hunter at pick 55 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
