Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall C
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Chargers bled value on every deal, hence the C.

The phones were a trap the Chargers kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal. It lands right in the middle: a C, no more, no less.

The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Randolph Jr. pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

If Brock Bowers and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Brock Bowers
In No. 5 they get a red-zone target to build around at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
Chop Robinson at pick No. 37 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick69 Rnd3 Caelen Carson
Caelen Carson at Round 3, Pick 5 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick78 Rnd3 Blake Corum
Blake Corum in pick 78 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick105 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
Fair-plus on Blake Fisher, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick142 Rnd5 Keith Randolph Jr.
Keith Randolph Jr. in the 142nd overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick183 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett in the Round 6 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick226 Rnd7 Isaiah Neyor
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Isaiah Neyor at the 226th pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
