Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Chargers checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

Somehow the biggest item on the list survived the weekend. The Chargers never addressed edge rusher, and it is the kind of gap that lingers.

The Roberts pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The Fields value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Kayden McDonald
In pick 22 they get a wrecking ball inside at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick55 Rnd2 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
They did well to land Emmanuel McNeil-Warren in the Round 2 slot, just ahead of his grade. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick86 Rnd3 Malachi Fields
They let Malachi Fields come to them and pounced at No. 86. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick123 Rnd4 Jaeden Roberts
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jaeden Roberts this early at slot 123. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick204 Rnd6 Terion Stewart
Terion Stewart at the 204th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
