Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesD FutureA
The Chargers let McGlothern fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

When a board-topper like Dwight McGlothern slides to slot 223, you do not overthink it, and the Chargers did not. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

The Bell pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster. 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
Pick19 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
Nice patience on Rome Odunze, who had no business lasting to the Round 1 slot. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick37 Rnd2 Byron Murphy II
The board had Byron Murphy II higher than the 37th overall pick, and the interior defensive lineman fell to them anyway. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick52 Rnd2 Junior Colson
Junior Colson in pick 52 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick69 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
They took Patrick Paul at par in Round 3, Pick 5, which is nothing to complain about. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick106 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
A straight-up fair deal on Braelon Allen at slot 106, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick139 Rnd5 Jaheim Bell
Jaheim Bell at pick No. 139 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick183 Rnd6 Hunter Nourzad
No drama and no debate, Hunter Nourzad went about where he belonged in the 183rd pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick223 Rnd7 Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern in No. 223 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick256 Rnd7 Edefuan Ulofoshio
They did well to land Edefuan Ulofoshio in the Round 7 slot, just ahead of his grade. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
