Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Chargers, and the value they bled adds up to real damage. A D- that will need time and luck to look better.

The whole projection now runs through Jayden Daniels; hit there and everything else looks smarter. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes. Quantity was the play, for better or worse.

The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.
