Jones should have been long gone. The Chargers pounced, and earned a B. Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Chargers were there to profit. Jarrian Jones, the No. 136 name on the board, should have been long gone before No. 181. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.
The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. If Nourzad pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.
Adding Jake Browning by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.
Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Rome Odunze
In Round 1, Pick 12 they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick17
Rnd1
Taliese Fuaga
In slot 17 they get a long-term starter on the line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick69
Rnd3
Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil at No. 69 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick105
Rnd4
Braelon Allen
No drama and no debate, Braelon Allen went about where he belonged in pick 105. It fills a real need, too.
Pick121
Rnd4
Ben Sinnott
They paid up for Ben Sinnott at the Round 4 slot when waiting would have done the job. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick136
Rnd4
Johnny Wilson
They let Johnny Wilson come to them and pounced at the 136th overall pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick145
Rnd5
Hunter Nourzad
Hunter Nourzad in pick No. 145 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick181
Rnd6
Jarrian Jones
Somehow Jarrian Jones was still sitting there in the 181st pick, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick225
Rnd7
Cedric Johnson
They took Cedric Johnson at par in slot 225, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick253
Rnd7
Tylan Grable
They will replay Tylan Grable at the Round 7 slot for years; that is how good the value is. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
