Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Chargers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Zion Tupuola-Fetui at the 142nd overall pick, a reach of 27 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Coleman pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. Edge rusher 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 Joe Alt
In the Round 1 slot they get an anchor for the offensive line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Keon Coleman in No. 37. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick69 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
They reached a country mile for Sedrick Van Pran at pick 69, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick105 Rnd4 Bucky Irving
Bucky Irving is a better player than the 105th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick142 Rnd5 Zion Tupuola-Fetui
They left a pile of value on the table to take Zion Tupuola-Fetui this early at the 142nd pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick183 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
They took Michael Barrett at par in slot 183, which is nothing to complain about. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick226 Rnd7 Brevyn Spann-Ford
They paid sticker price for Brevyn Spann-Ford in No. 226, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
