Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Chargers a B-.

The Chargers' one glaring miss is interior defensive lineman, a need they left exactly as they found it. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

The Wilson pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The Stout pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
In the 22nd overall pick they get a premier pass rusher. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick55 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins in No. 55 is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick86 Rnd3 Jared Wilson
They went early on Jared Wilson in the Round 3 slot, and the value did not follow. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick125 Rnd4 Jordan James
Jordan James at Round 4, Pick 23 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick158 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
They took O'Donnell Fortune at par in the 158th pick, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick181 Rnd6 Jack Nelson
Jack Nelson at pick No. 181 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick199 Rnd6 Thomas Fidone II
No drama and no debate, Thomas Fidone II went about where he belonged in slot 199. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick209 Rnd6 Upton Stout
A quiet steal in pick 209: Upton Stout for less than the market said. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick214 Rnd6 Donovan Edwards
A reasonable price with a little left over, Donovan Edwards in the 214th pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick256 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
A reach on Hayden Conner in pick No. 256; the board had better options right there. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
