Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall C
ValueB- NeedB TradesD- FutureB-
The Chargers lost the trade table, and the C tells the story.

You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Chargers did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high.

Reaching for Nugent left real value on the table behind him. Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Foster at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

If Brock Bowers and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Brock Bowers
In No. 6 they get a security blanket over the middle at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick37 Rnd2 Kamari Lassiter
No edge and no loss on Kamari Lassiter in Round 2, Pick 5; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick47 Rnd2 Junior Colson
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Junior Colson. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick69 Rnd3 Ricky Pearsall
A slide stopped in slot 69, with Ricky Pearsall worth more than the price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick75 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe in pick 75 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick106 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo in the 106th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick130 Rnd4 Marcus Harris
A conviction pick on Marcus Harris at the Round 4 slot that the board grades a round light. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick139 Rnd5 Javon Foster
They barely believed it either: Javon Foster still on the board at pick No. 139. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick183 Rnd6 Drake Nugent
A real head-scratcher, Drake Nugent in the Round 6 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick256 Rnd7 Josh Wallace
They did well to land Josh Wallace in slot 256, just ahead of his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
