Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall C-
ValueC NeedB TradesF FutureB
The Chargers bled value on every deal, hence the C-.

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Chargers, and the value they bled adds up to real damage.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. The Zuhn III reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Hit on Quincy Rhodes Jr. and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Quincy Rhodes Jr.
In the 30th pick they get a disruptor off the edge, even if it was a touch early. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick55 Rnd2 Ja'Kobi Lane
Nothing to complain about; Ja'Kobi Lane went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick59 Rnd2 Deontae Lawson
They went early on Deontae Lawson in No. 59, and the value did not follow. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick101 Rnd4 Chase Bisontis
This one needs a full-page explanation: Chase Bisontis in the Round 4 slot, miles early. The roster fit checks out.
Pick125 Rnd4 Jalon Kilgore
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 125 with a little surplus value in Jalon Kilgore. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick182 Rnd6 Aamil Wagner
Aamil Wagner in Round 6, Pick 2 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick206 Rnd6 Trey Zuhn III
Trey Zuhn III in pick 206 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
