Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Chargers landed square in the muddy middle: C+.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Chargers shredded theirs for Trey Knox. He came off 41 spots early, and the room will hear about it. It lands right in the middle: a C+, no more, no less.

Moore at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.

Bottom line, the swing picks will decide whether this ages well.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 JC Latham
In pick No. 8 they get a cornerstone up front, reach and all. A real need, handled.
Pick40 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
They talked themselves into Jackson Powers-Johnson at No. 40, and the board did not agree. The roster fit checks out.
Pick72 Rnd3 Bucky Irving
This one needs a full-page explanation: Bucky Irving in slot 72, miles early. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick108 Rnd4 Rod Moore
Taking Rod Moore in Round 4, Pick 8 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick145 Rnd5 Ashton Gillotte
Ashton Gillotte at the 145th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick186 Rnd6 Zy Alexander
They will replay Zy Alexander at the 186th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick229 Rnd7 Trey Knox
A big swing on Trey Knox at pick 229, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
