Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesD FutureA+
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Chargers.

Every other box got a look, but edge rusher did not. The Chargers will head to camp with the same hole they walked in with.

The cost of the Guerendo reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The Wilson steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Byron Murphy II
In No. 18 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
A tidy little value on Adonai Mitchell in pick 37, a step better than break-even. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick49 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
They paid sticker price for T.J. Tampa in Round 2, Pick 17, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick69 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
They let Payton Wilson come to them and pounced at pick No. 69. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick105 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
A reach for Blake Fisher in the 105th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick110 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
Value said wait; Isaac Guerendo in the Round 4 slot says they were not listening. It fills a real need, too.
Pick140 Rnd5 Trevor Keegan
No edge and no loss on Trevor Keegan in the 140th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick181 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
They took Cornelius Johnson at par in slot 181, which is nothing to complain about. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick225 Rnd7 Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett in Round 7, Pick 5 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick253 Rnd7 Josh Wallace
Josh Wallace at the Round 7 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
