Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Chargers: B.

Somehow the biggest item on the list survived the weekend. The Chargers never addressed wide receiver, and it is the kind of gap that lingers. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Norman-Lott. Every board in the league had Dotson lower, and that gap is the story.

Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
In slot 22 they get a double-digit-sack hope, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick55 Rnd2 Harold Fannin Jr.
Harold Fannin Jr. in the 55th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick86 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
Omarr Norman-Lott slid further than he should have, and pick No. 86 is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick125 Rnd4 Mello Dotson
They paid a round early for Mello Dotson in the 125th overall pick, more than the board wanted. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
