Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Chargers let Campbell fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

The rest of the league will want that one back. DJ Campbell tumbling to the Chargers in No. 204 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They are betting Jackson Jr. proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They left with interior defensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Olaivavega Ioane
In pick 22 they get a cornerstone up front. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick55 Rnd2 A.J. Haulcy
They did well to land A.J. Haulcy in slot 55, just ahead of his grade. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick86 Rnd3 Darrell Jackson Jr.
A reach for Darrell Jackson Jr. in the 86th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick123 Rnd4 DeMonte Capehart
They went early on DeMonte Capehart in Round 4, Pick 23, and the value did not follow. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick204 Rnd6 DJ Campbell
They robbed the room for DJ Campbell here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It fills a real need, too.
