Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Chargers: B-.

You can draft well and still miss the point. The Chargers did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to quarterback, which was the need that mattered most.

The Brewu reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Jamari Sharpe
In the Round 1 slot they get a ballhawk on the outside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick55 Rnd2 Francis Brewu
Francis Brewu in pick No. 55 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick86 Rnd3 Evan Tengesdahl
A reasonable price with a little left over, Evan Tengesdahl in slot 86. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick123 Rnd4 Amaris Williams
Amaris Williams in Round 4, Pick 23 is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick202 Rnd6 Cayden Lee
By-the-book stuff, Cayden Lee at the 202nd pick squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
