Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Chargers a B-.

Every other box got a look, but interior defensive lineman did not. The Chargers will head to camp with the same hole they walked in with. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

The cost of the Umanmielen reach is exactly the players who went right after him. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 AJ Green
In pick No. 22 they get a double-digit-sack hope. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick55 Rnd2 Princewill Umanmielen
Princewill Umanmielen in the 55th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick86 Rnd3 Nyck Harbor
A straight-up fair deal on Nyck Harbor at No. 86, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick123 Rnd4 Jackson Arnold
Jackson Arnold in the Round 4 slot is fair value, right on his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick202 Rnd6 Aaron Scott Jr.
Nothing to complain about; Aaron Scott Jr. went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
