Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B-
ValueC- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Chargers kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

The Chargers spent real capital to be 150 picks early on Justice Haynes, and the board is going to hold them to it. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. That Knapp pick is the receipt they will wave around later. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Colin Simmons
In the 1st pick they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick33 Rnd2 Justice Haynes
They talked themselves into Justice Haynes at slot 33, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick65 Rnd3 Clev Lubin
Clev Lubin in the 65th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick100 Rnd3 Anthonie Knapp
They robbed the room for Anthonie Knapp here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick103 Rnd4 Dashawn Spears
A reach for Dashawn Spears in pick No. 103; a little patience would have been rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick140 Rnd5 Evan Stewart
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Evan Stewart well ahead of where he belonged. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick196 Rnd6 Kevin Jennings
Kevin Jennings at No. 196 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The roster fit checks out.
Pick237 Rnd7 Aycen Stevens
Aycen Stevens at Round 7, Pick 16 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
