Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall
B
ValueB
NeedA-
TradesB-
FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Chargers a B. Everything else got attention, and edge rusher got none. That is a strange way for the Chargers to leave a draft. No fireworks, but a solid B.
They banked enough surplus on Johnson to cover a lot of smaller sins. They went 2 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.
Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick22
Rnd1
Walter Nolen
In pick 22 they get a run-stuffing presence up front at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick55
Rnd2
Kaleb Johnson
They read the board right and Kaleb Johnson was the payoff at the Round 2 slot. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
