Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Chargers checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The Chargers bet big and early on JJ Pegues, 26 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. They banked enough surplus on Brooks to cover a lot of smaller sins.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
Nothing to complain about; Tyler Warren went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick55 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
A conviction pick on Tate Ratledge at No. 55 that the board grades a round light. 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 the 86th overall pick. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick125 Rnd4 Nick Nash
They reached into another round for Nick Nash, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick158 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues in pick No. 158 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick181 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
They went early on Jaylen Reed in slot 181, and the value did not follow. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick199 Rnd6 Jason Marshall Jr.
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jason Marshall Jr.. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick209 Rnd6 Tahj Brooks
They read the board right and Tahj Brooks was the payoff at Round 6, Pick 33. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick214 Rnd6 Cam Jackson
Cam Jackson at the 214th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick256 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
A reach for Hayden Conner in the Round 7 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. A need, and now a little less of one.
