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

The tape said wait; the Chargers did not. Vincent Anthony Jr. went at the 204th pick, a good 36 picks before the board was ready.

The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Kayden McDonald
In the 22nd overall pick they get a disruptive interior force at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick55 Rnd2 Gennings Dunker
Gennings Dunker at the 55th pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick86 Rnd3 Zakee Wheatley
Zakee Wheatley in the Round 3 slot is fair value, right on his grade. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick123 Rnd4 Will Lee III
They took Will Lee III at par in No. 123, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick204 Rnd6 Vincent Anthony Jr.
Vincent Anthony Jr. at pick No. 204 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
