Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Chargers won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Chargers reached some 78 spots for Michael Barrett, and value like that does not grow back. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In No. 5 they get a go-to option on the outside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Kamari Lassiter
Kamari Lassiter at pick 37 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick69 Rnd3 Blake Fisher
They reached into another round for Blake Fisher, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick74 Rnd3 Drake Nugent
Value said wait; Drake Nugent in the 74th overall pick says they were not listening. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick81 Rnd3 Tykee Smith
A reach on Tykee Smith in pick No. 81; the board had better options right there. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick105 Rnd4 Michael Barrett
A wild overpay on Michael Barrett in the 105th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick142 Rnd5 Braiden McGregor
Braiden McGregor at slot 142 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick145 Rnd5 Frank Gore Jr.
They reached a country mile for Frank Gore Jr. at pick 145, and the board is aghast. It fills a real need, too.
Pick154 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
A conviction pick on Joe Milton III at Round 5, Pick 18 that the board grades a round light. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick183 Rnd6 AJ Barner
The board had cheaper options than AJ Barner at No. 183, and it noticed. The roster fit checks out.
Pick226 Rnd7 Blake Watson
No drama and no debate, Blake Watson went about where he belonged in the Round 7 slot. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
