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

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Chargers would have aced it. Bishop Fitzgerald at pick 86 is 30 spots clear of where he belonged. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. That is a tight end worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Kayden McDonald
In slot 22 they get an anchor for the defensive front. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick55 Rnd2 Chase Bisontis
They liked Chase Bisontis enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 2 slot. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick86 Rnd3 Bishop Fitzgerald
Bishop Fitzgerald in Round 3, Pick 22 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick123 Rnd4 Parker Brailsford
They took Parker Brailsford at par in No. 123, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick204 Rnd6 Dallen Bentley
A slide stopped in pick 204, with Dallen Bentley worth more than the price. It fills a real need, too.
