Boltzy55 DRAFTING FOR THEChargers

Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall
C+
ValueB
NeedB+
TradesF
FutureB
The Chargers bled value on every deal, hence the C+. Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Chargers, and the value they bled adds up to real damage.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. The Gore Jr. value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.
They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
Not a disaster, not a triumph, just a middling class.
Pick Analysis
Pick5
Rnd1
Malik Nabers
In slot 5 they get a difference-maker at receiver at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick37
Rnd2
Kamari Lassiter
Value with a capital V on Kamari Lassiter in the 37th pick, a genuine coup. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick69
Rnd3
Edgerrin Cooper
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 69, where Edgerrin Cooper graded well above the range. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick105
Rnd4
Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith in the Round 4 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick142
Rnd5
Javon Foster
A slide stopped in Round 5, Pick 6, with Javon Foster worth more than the price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick183
Rnd6
Frank Gore Jr.
They read the board right and Frank Gore Jr. was the payoff at No. 183. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick226
Rnd7
Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern at pick 226 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
