Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureC+
The Chargers robbed the room for Jones. Final grade: B.

Somebody in Round 7, Pick 5 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Chargers sat still while Trente Jones, the No. 195 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They left with interior defensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
They took Malik Nabers at par in pick No. 5, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick37 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson at pick 37 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick69 Rnd3 Edgerrin Cooper
You do not let a linebacker like Edgerrin Cooper reach the Round 3 slot and blink. They did not. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick83 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
A tidy bit of business in No. 83, where Mike Sainristil graded well above the range. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick110 Rnd4 Mekhi Wingo
They did well to land Mekhi Wingo in the 110th pick, just ahead of his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick181 Rnd6 Cody Schrader
Cody Schrader in the 181st overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick225 Rnd7 Trente Jones
Trente Jones at slot 225 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick253 Rnd7 Josh Wallace
No drama and no debate, Josh Wallace went about where he belonged in Round 7, Pick 33. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
