Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Chargers: B-.

For all the boxes ticked, the Chargers skipped the loudest one: wide receiver is exactly as bare as it was. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

They are betting Gillotte proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Derrick Harmon
In No. 22 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick55 Rnd2 Harold Fannin Jr.
They did well to land Harold Fannin Jr. in the Round 2 slot, just ahead of his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick86 Rnd3 Ashton Gillotte
A reach for Ashton Gillotte in pick No. 86; a little patience would have been rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
