Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall D
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The Chargers let Keegan fall into their laps, and walked away with a D.

The trade table was where it all came apart. The Chargers shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill. Too much went sideways, and the D is the honest tally.

For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. That is an offensive lineman worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

Reaching for Corum left real value on the table behind him.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and interior defensive lineman is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
Marvin Harrison Jr. at pick 1 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick5 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In pick No. 5 they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value.
Pick9 Rnd1 Laiatu Latu
In No. 9 they get a double-digit-sack hope at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick37 Rnd2 Bo Nix
A reasonable price with a little left over, Bo Nix in Round 2, Pick 5. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick75 Rnd3 Blake Corum
A reach on Blake Corum in the 75th overall pick; the board had better options right there. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick105 Rnd4 Gabriel Murphy
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Gabriel Murphy at slot 105 is the proof. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick110 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
Kris Abrams-Draine in the 110th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick140 Rnd5 James Williams
Nice patience on James Williams, who had no business lasting to slot 140. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick181 Rnd6 Trevor Keegan
A offensive lineman of that caliber at No. 181 is the definition of value, full stop. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick225 Rnd7 Tanner McLachlan
Tanner McLachlan is a better player than the Round 7 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
Pick253 Rnd7 Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett in the 253rd overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
