Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Chargers worked the phones like thieves and earned a A-.

The trade table was a mismatch, and the Chargers were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value. They executed a plan and it shows in the A-.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. Every board in the league had Reed lower, and that gap is the story. On value alone, Washington makes the weekend a net positive.

Bottom line, with Ennis Rakestraw Jr. leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
In No. 32 they get a lockdown presence outside at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
Value with a capital V on Tyler Guyton in the Round 2 slot, a genuine coup. It fills a real need, too.
Pick64 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
Braden Fiske at the 64th pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick69 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
The board had Malachi Corley higher than the 69th overall pick, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick105 Rnd4 Malik Washington
A tidy bit of business in pick 105, where Malik Washington graded well above the range. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick110 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
They did well to land Cole Bishop in Round 4, Pick 10, just ahead of his grade. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick164 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
A reasonable price with a little left over, Tykee Smith in pick No. 164. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick181 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III at slot 181 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick201 Rnd6 Tahj Washington
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Tahj Washington in slot 201. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick225 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. in the 225th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick249 Rnd7 Brevyn Spann-Ford
They took Brevyn Spann-Ford at par in pick No. 249, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick253 Rnd7 Austin Reed
Austin Reed at No. 253 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
