Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall F
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureF
The Chargers drew a line under the quarterback search with McCarthy: F.

The Chargers lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again. A F, plain and simple.

So much rides on J.J. McCarthy that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

The cost of the McCarthy reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The bill for those future picks comes due whether the class hits or not.

There is no soft landing here; this class has to massively overperform just to matter.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
In the 10th pick they get a passer to set the clock by, though the board says they badly overpaid. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick30 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jackson Powers-Johnson. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick37 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
They let Tyler Guyton come to them and pounced at pick 37. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
