Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesD+ FutureB-
The Chargers checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Chargers took Joe Milton III at slot 140, roughly 60 spots before his name belonged.

That is a running back worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. They gave back a little on the phones for the right to move.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In the 11th overall pick they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Kool-Aid McKinstry
A quiet steal in Round 2, Pick 5: Kool-Aid McKinstry for less than the market said. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
No edge and no loss on Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in pick No. 69; it is a wash and a sensible one. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick105 Rnd4 MarShawn Lloyd
Value with a capital V on MarShawn Lloyd in pick 105, a genuine coup. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick108 Rnd4 Ja'Lynn Polk
Steal is underselling it; Ja'Lynn Polk at the Round 4 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick110 Rnd4 Jaheim Bell
Jaheim Bell at slot 110 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick129 Rnd4 Matt Goncalves
Matt Goncalves at pick 129 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick140 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III at pick No. 140 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick181 Rnd6 Tykee Smith
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Tykee Smith in the Round 6 slot, plain and simple. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick225 Rnd7 Daijun Edwards
A running back of that caliber at the 225th pick is the definition of value, full stop. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick253 Rnd7 Edefuan Ulofoshio
Nice patience on Edefuan Ulofoshio, who had no business lasting to the 253rd overall pick. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
