Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Chargers: B-.

The Chargers did not so much draft Donovan Edwards as overpay for him, 34 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Landing Wilson that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In slot 5 they get a blindside protector at fair value.
Pick37 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat at No. 37 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick69 Rnd3 Donovan Edwards
A real head-scratcher, Donovan Edwards in pick No. 69 is miles ahead of his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick105 Rnd4 Roman Wilson
A tidy bit of business in the 105th overall pick, where Roman Wilson graded well above the range. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick142 Rnd5 Ben Sinnott
They jumped the gun on Ben Sinnott, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick183 Rnd6 Sam Hartman
A reasonable price with a little left over, Sam Hartman in the Round 6 slot. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick226 Rnd7 Cody Schrader
The board had cheaper options than Cody Schrader at the Round 7 slot, and it noticed. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
