Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedC+ TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Chargers, and a B- to prove it.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Chargers spent pick 33 on LaNorris Sellers, a name the board had a full 27 spots lower. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

They banked enough surplus on Lacy to cover a lot of smaller sins. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Jeremiah Smith
In pick No. 1 they get a true top target at fair value.
Pick33 Rnd2 LaNorris Sellers
LaNorris Sellers in the 33rd overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick65 Rnd3 Kewan Lacy
Kewan Lacy slid further than he should have, and the Round 3 slot is lovely value for the running back. A minor itch, scratched.
