Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Chargers: B-.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Jalen McLeod; the Chargers did not wait, grabbing him 28 spots ahead at Round 6, Pick 5.

A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Ferguson.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In slot 22 they get a disruptive interior force at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick55 Rnd2 Bradyn Swinson
No edge and no loss on Bradyn Swinson in the 55th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick86 Rnd3 David Walker
David Walker in No. 86 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick125 Rnd4 Terrance Ferguson
A slide stopped in the 125th pick, with Terrance Ferguson worth more than the price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick158 Rnd5 Elijah Roberts
Value said wait; Elijah Roberts in the Round 5 slot says they were not listening. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick181 Rnd6 Jalen McLeod
A big swing on Jalen McLeod at pick 181, well ahead of any board in the building. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick199 Rnd6 Upton Stout
The board had Upton Stout higher than the 199th pick, and the safety fell to them anyway. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick209 Rnd6 Addison West
No drama and no debate, Addison West went about where he belonged in Round 6, Pick 33. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick214 Rnd6 Kyle Monangai
Kyle Monangai in the Round 6 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick256 Rnd7 Sam Brown Jr.
Sam Brown Jr. is a better player than pick 256 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
