The Roderick Kearney pick is the one that will follow the Chargers into the fall. They took him 225 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Price. It is not that Zvada is a bad player; it is that the Chargers had louder needs to answer first. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

So much rides on Roderick Kearney that the real verdict is a season or two away.
