Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Chargers.

Somehow the biggest item on the list survived the weekend. The Chargers never addressed edge rusher, and it is the kind of gap that lingers.

The Thornton Jr. pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The Jackson reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with interior defensive lineman the one that mattered most.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
A quiet steal in pick 22: Tetairoa McMillan for less than the market said. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick55 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on TreVeyon Henderson. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick86 Rnd3 Danny Stutsman
No drama and no debate, Danny Stutsman went about where he belonged in slot 86. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick125 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
A tidy little value on Emery Jones Jr. in the Round 4 slot, a step better than break-even. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick158 Rnd5 Luke Kandra
Luke Kandra at the 158th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick181 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
A conviction pick on Oronde Gadsden II at the 181st overall pick that the board grades a round light. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick199 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at Round 6, Pick 23 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick209 Rnd6 Donovan Edwards
They did well to land Donovan Edwards in pick No. 209, just ahead of his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick214 Rnd6 Cam Jackson
A premium they did not need to pay, Cam Jackson a notch or two before his time. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick256 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
They paid up for Hayden Conner at slot 256 when waiting would have done the job. It fills a real need, too.
