Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall D+
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Chargers got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D+.

The Chargers lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again. A weekend that fought the value and lost, hence the D+.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They will need Limmer to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Brock Bowers
In pick 5 they get a red-zone target to build around. A real need, handled.
Pick37 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
They paid sticker price for Tyler Guyton in No. 37, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick69 Rnd3 Caelen Carson
Caelen Carson in the 69th pick is fair value, right on his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick85 Rnd3 Marist Liufau
They took Marist Liufau at par in Round 3, Pick 22, which is nothing to complain about. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick105 Rnd4 Tyler Davis
Tyler Davis in the 105th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick126 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
No edge and no loss on Cole Bishop in slot 126; it is a wash and a sensible one. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick127 Rnd4 Beaux Limmer
A premium they did not need to pay, Beaux Limmer a notch or two before his time. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
