Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Chargers let Washington fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

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. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

Landing Washington that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The Cole pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Trevor Goosby
In pick No. 22 they get a building block for the line at fair value.
Pick55 Rnd2 A'Mauri Washington
Somehow A'Mauri Washington was still sitting there in Round 2, Pick 23, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick86 Rnd3 Kade Pieper
Kade Pieper at the Round 3 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It fills a real need, too.
Pick123 Rnd4 Brandon Inniss
They took Brandon Inniss at par in No. 123, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick202 Rnd6 Jay'Vion Cole
They paid up for Jay'Vion Cole at the 202nd pick when waiting would have done the job. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
