Grand theft in the Round 6 slot: the Chargers steal Howard and grade out a B+. The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Will Howard, the 215th overall pick, roughly 112 picks past where he belonged. They moved the roster forward and banked a B+ for it.
The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. They are betting Walker proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They went 8 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Colston Loveland
In No. 25 they get a security blanket over the middle. A real need, handled.
Pick55
Rnd2
TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson in the Round 2 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick86
Rnd3
Savion Williams
Savion Williams at slot 86 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick87
Rnd3
Ashton Gillotte
Ashton Gillotte in pick No. 87 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick89
Rnd3
Jake Majors
They paid a round early for Jake Majors in the 89th pick, more than the board wanted. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick124
Rnd4
David Walker
David Walker at the 124th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick127
Rnd4
Darius Alexander
They paid sticker price for Darius Alexander in pick 127, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick159
Rnd5
Phil Mafah
A premium they did not need to pay, Phil Mafah a notch or two before his time. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick177
Rnd5
Pat Bryant
You do not let a wide receiver like Pat Bryant reach Round 5, Pick 38 and blink. They did not. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick183
Rnd6
Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant is a better player than No. 183 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick201
Rnd6
JJ Pegues
The board fumbled JJ Pegues all the way to slot 201, and they scooped it up. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick215
Rnd6
Will Howard
Will Howard at pick No. 215 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick220
Rnd7
Seth McLaughlin
A real head-scratcher, Seth McLaughlin in the 220th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick253
Rnd7
Jackson Hawes
Good price on Jackson Hawes in the 253rd overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
