Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
The Chargers let Trotter Jr. fall into their laps, and walked away with a A-.

The trade table was a mismatch, and the Chargers were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value.

Trotter Jr. falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Add it up and this is about as clean as a draft weekend gets.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
In slot 16 they get a blindside protector. A real need, handled.
Pick37 Rnd2 Quinyon Mitchell
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Quinyon Mitchell in No. 37, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick69 Rnd3 Bralen Trice
They paid sticker price for Bralen Trice in Round 3, Pick 5, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick78 Rnd3 Ja'Lynn Polk
A reasonable price with a little left over, Ja'Lynn Polk in the 78th overall pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick81 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
You do not let a linebacker like Jeremiah Trotter Jr. reach pick 81 and blink. They did not. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick106 Rnd4 MarShawn Lloyd
MarShawn Lloyd in the Round 4 slot is fair value, right on his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick124 Rnd4 Beaux Limmer
No edge and no loss on Beaux Limmer in the 124th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
Pick139 Rnd5 Fabien Lovett
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Fabien Lovett. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick151 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson is a better player than Round 5, Pick 15 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick183 Rnd6 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey in slot 183 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick223 Rnd7 Daijun Edwards
Daijun Edwards at pick 223 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick256 Rnd7 Eyabi Okie-Anoma
The board had cheaper options than Eyabi Okie-Anoma at pick No. 256, and it noticed. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
