The Chargers kept it disciplined and banked a B-. Boards are made to be trusted, and the Chargers shredded theirs for Nadame Tucker. He came off 47 spots early, and the room will hear about it.
Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Getting Taaffe where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick Analysis
Pick29
Rnd1
Emmanuel Pregnon
In the 29th pick they get a long-term starter on the line, though they paid up to get him. A real need, handled.
Pick55
Rnd2
D'Angelo Ponds
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 55 with a little surplus value in D'Angelo Ponds. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick74
Rnd3
Dontay Corleone
Dontay Corleone at the 74th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick86
Rnd3
Michael Taaffe
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Michael Taaffe at slot 86 is the proof. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick123
Rnd4
Nadame Tucker
They left a pile of value on the table to take Nadame Tucker this early at pick 123. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick176
Rnd5
Keyshaun Elliott
Keyshaun Elliott at No. 176 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick204
Rnd6
Jadon Canady
Jadon Canady at the 204th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
