Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesA FutureB-
The Chargers checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Chargers would have aced it. Fabien Lovett at the Round 7 slot is 109 spots clear of where he belonged. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

Getting Kinchens where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Brock Bowers
In pick No. 5 they get a matchup weapon at tight end at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick37 Rnd2 Joe Alt
The board fumbled Joe Alt all the way to Round 2, Pick 5, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick69 Rnd3 Quinyon Mitchell
Circle this one: Quinyon Mitchell at No. 69 is a fall that decides a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick74 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at the 74th overall pick is the proof. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick99 Rnd3 Kamren Kinchens
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Kamren Kinchens in the Round 3 slot, plain and simple. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick105 Rnd4 Sedrick Van Pran
Sedrick Van Pran slipping to pick 105 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick142 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
They paid sticker price for Luke McCaffrey in slot 142, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick145 Rnd5 Frank Gore Jr.
A big swing on Frank Gore Jr. at the 145th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick165 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III at pick 165 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick183 Rnd6 J.J. Weaver
Value said wait; J.J. Weaver in the 183rd pick says they were not listening. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick226 Rnd7 Fabien Lovett
A wild overpay on Fabien Lovett in No. 226, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
