Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall

ValueA
NeedC+
TradesF
FutureA+
Best value of the weekend goes to the Chargers for Chambliss: D+. The rest of the league will want that one back. Trinidad Chambliss tumbling to the Chargers in slot 247 is a gift they did not have to think twice about.
Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. The Chargers clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.
Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.
Pick Analysis
Pick2
Rnd1
