Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureA
The Chargers bled value on every deal, hence the B-.

Somebody took the Chargers to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. The Kandra pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In No. 31 they get a wrecking ball inside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick47 Rnd2 Barrett Carter
They did well to land Barrett Carter in pick 47, just ahead of his grade. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick79 Rnd3 Jordan Hancock
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jordan Hancock in pick No. 79. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick100 Rnd4 J. Michael Sturdivant
They paid sticker price for J. Michael Sturdivant in the Round 4 slot, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick111 Rnd4 Devin Neal
Fair-plus on Devin Neal, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Pick127 Rnd4 Luke Kandra
Luke Kandra in the 127th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The roster fit checks out.
Pick162 Rnd6 Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
No drama and no debate, Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson went about where he belonged in Round 6, Pick 2. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick175 Rnd6 Kyren Lacy
No edge and no loss on Kyren Lacy in slot 175; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick207 Rnd7 Jimmy Horn Jr.
They took Jimmy Horn Jr. at par in No. 207, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick209 Rnd7 Lathan Ransom
A straight-up fair deal on Lathan Ransom at the 209th pick, value and slot in agreement. A minor itch, scratched.
