Boards are made to be trusted, and the Chargers shredded theirs for Hank Brown. He came off 211 spots early, and the room will hear about it.

That Hardy pick is the receipt they will wave around later. Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

The bill for those future picks comes due whether the class hits or not. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

So much rides on Suntarine Perkins that the real verdict is a season or two away.
