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

The Chargers put a flag in the ground for Darius Robinson, 51 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.

Rosengarten falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 5 they get a true top target. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
A wild overpay on T'Vondre Sweat in the 37th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick69 Rnd3 Trey Benson
They paid a round early for Trey Benson in slot 69, more than the board wanted. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick105 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Darius Robinson. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick142 Rnd5 Ben Sinnott
They went early on Ben Sinnott in pick 142, and the value did not follow. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick183 Rnd6 Sam Hartman
They did well to land Sam Hartman in the Round 6 slot, just ahead of his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick226 Rnd7 Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten in No. 226 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
