Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Chargers cashed the board's mistake on Hurst: B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Ted Hurst had no business being available in the 204th overall pick, and the Chargers did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

The Rutledge pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Kayden McDonald
Kayden McDonald at slot 22 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick55 Rnd2 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
A reasonable price with a little left over, Emmanuel McNeil-Warren in the 55th pick. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick86 Rnd3 Keylan Rutledge
They reached into another round for Keylan Rutledge, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick123 Rnd4 Mike Washington Jr.
Nice patience on Mike Washington Jr., who had no business lasting to pick 123. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick204 Rnd6 Ted Hurst
You do not let a wide receiver like Ted Hurst reach the Round 6 slot and blink. They did not. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
