Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Chargers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

For all the boxes ticked, the Chargers skipped the loudest one: edge rusher is exactly as bare as it was. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

That Pregnon pick is the receipt they will wave around later. Wilson has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with interior defensive lineman chief among the fixes.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Kayden McDonald
In the 22nd overall pick they get a wrecking ball inside at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick55 Rnd2 Emmanuel Pregnon
Emmanuel Pregnon at No. 55 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick86 Rnd3 Omar Cooper Jr.
They took Omar Cooper Jr. at par in slot 86, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick123 Rnd4 Bray Hubbard
Bray Hubbard in pick 123 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick203 Rnd6 Jerry Wilson
Jerry Wilson at the 203rd pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
