Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall D-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureC-
McCarthy is the plan now, and the Chargers grade out a D-.

Somebody took the Chargers to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it. Put together, it is a D-.

So much rides on J.J. McCarthy that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

Keegan at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The cost of the McCarthy reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

The bill for those future picks comes due whether the class hits or not.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, edge rusher very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the 5th pick they get a matchup problem out wide. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick11 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
In the 11th overall pick they get the arm they will build around, even if it was a touch early. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick23 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
Quinyon Mitchell at the Round 1 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick37 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
Tyler Guyton at No. 37 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick69 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
A quiet steal in slot 69: Payton Wilson for less than the market said. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick72 Rnd3 Blake Corum
Blake Corum at pick No. 72 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick111 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
A clean, defensible pick in pick 111 with a little surplus value in Cole Bishop. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick181 Rnd6 Trevor Keegan
Trevor Keegan at Round 6, Pick 6 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick225 Rnd7 Kendall Milton
Circle this one: Kendall Milton at the 225th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick253 Rnd7 Sam Hartman
Sam Hartman in pick 253 is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
