Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall C+
ValueD+ NeedB TradesB- FutureC+
A weekend that raised as many questions as it answered. The Chargers get a C+.

The Chargers spent real capital to be 81 picks early on Julian Fleming, and the board is going to hold them to it.

With edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on safety is the choice that costs them. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They went 2 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The skill positions did well by the weekend.

So much rides on Quinshon Judkins that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Quinshon Judkins
In slot 5 they get a bell-cow for the offense, a steep price for the projection. A real need, handled.
Pick37 Rnd2 Shilo Sanders
Shilo Sanders at pick No. 37 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick69 Rnd3 Rod Moore
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Rod Moore at safety with edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots open.
Pick101 Rnd4 Trevor Etienne
A clean, defensible pick in the 101st pick with a little surplus value in Trevor Etienne. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick133 Rnd5 Damien Martinez
They paid a round early for Damien Martinez in pick 133, more than the board wanted. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick134 Rnd5 Mario Williams
Mario Williams in the Round 5 slot is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick165 Rnd6 Ja'Corey Brooks
They left a pile of value on the table to take Ja'Corey Brooks this early at slot 165. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick197 Rnd7 Julian Fleming
Julian Fleming at the 197th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick219 Rnd7 Deontae Lawson
Deontae Lawson in the Round 7 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
