Boltzy55 DRAFTING FOR THEChargers

Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall
D
ValueB-
NeedB

FutureC+
The Chargers bled value on every deal, hence the D. The Chargers lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again. The board pushed back all weekend, and the D is the result.
They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. They will need Monheim to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The Cooper pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.
Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.
It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.
Pick Analysis
Pick6
Rnd1
Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In slot 6 they get a blindside protector at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick30
Rnd1
Emeka Egbuka
In pick 30 they get a go-to option on the outside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick37
Rnd2
Tyler Nubin
A reasonable price with a little left over, Tyler Nubin in the 37th pick. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick55
Rnd2
Kris Jenkins
Good price on Kris Jenkins in the Round 2 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick69
Rnd3
Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper slipping to the 69th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick70
Rnd3
Caelen Carson
Fair-plus on Caelen Carson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick105
Rnd4
Audric Estime
Audric Estime in Round 4, Pick 5 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick142
Rnd5
Jaylin Simpson
A straight-up fair deal on Jaylin Simpson at No. 142, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick153
Rnd5
Jonah Monheim
They jumped the gun on Jonah Monheim, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick185
Rnd6
Bryson Nesbit
A premium they did not need to pay, Bryson Nesbit a notch or two before his time. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick226
Rnd7
Matthew Jones
A reach on Matthew Jones in slot 226; the board had better options right there. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
