Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Chargers.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Chargers shredded theirs for Isaac Guerendo. He came off 52 spots early, and the room will hear about it. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Interior defensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
In pick 5 they get a No. 1 receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on T.J. Tampa. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick69 Rnd3 Caelen Carson
A conviction pick on Caelen Carson at pick No. 69 that the board grades a round light. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick106 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Theo Johnson well ahead of where he belonged. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick139 Rnd5 LaDarius Henderson
They reached into another round for LaDarius Henderson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick183 Rnd6 Andrew Raym
Andrew Raym in the Round 6 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick223 Rnd7 Isaac Guerendo
They reached a country mile for Isaac Guerendo at slot 223, and the board is aghast. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick256 Rnd7 DeMonte Capehart
A real head-scratcher, DeMonte Capehart in pick 256 is miles ahead of his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
