FutureB-
Grand theft in the Round 7 slot: the Chargers steal Burks and grade out a B. This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Deion Burks, the No. 194 name on the board, stolen at the 250th overall pick.
They are betting Stackhouse proves the room right and everyone else wrong. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.
The trade work was a quiet net positive.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick16
Rnd1
Emeka Egbuka
In Round 1, Pick 16 they get a go-to option on the outside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick43
Rnd2
Jason Marshall Jr.
They took Jason Marshall Jr. at par in pick 43, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick49
Rnd2
Jordan Burch
Jordan Burch at the Round 2 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the edge rusher. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick82
Rnd3
Dylan Fairchild
A tidy bit of business in the 82nd pick, where Dylan Fairchild graded well above the range. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick101
Rnd3
Lander Barton
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Lander Barton at pick No. 101 is the proof. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick114
Rnd4
Davison Igbinosun
A reasonable price with a little left over, Davison Igbinosun in No. 114. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick118
Rnd4
J.Michael Sturdivant
They paid a round early for J.Michael Sturdivant in the 118th overall pick, more than the board wanted. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick153
Rnd5
Woody Marks
Value with a capital V on Woody Marks in slot 153, a genuine coup. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick175
Rnd5
Nazir Stackhouse
They talked themselves into Nazir Stackhouse at pick No. 175, and the board did not agree. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick180
Rnd6
Luke Lachey
A premium they did not need to pay, Luke Lachey a notch or two before his time. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick190
Rnd6
Jalon Walker
They liked Jalon Walker enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 190. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick220
Rnd7
Kyren Lacy
Kyren Lacy in the Round 7 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick247
Rnd7
Fentrell Cypress II
Fentrell Cypress II at Round 7, Pick 33 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick250
Rnd7
Deion Burks
Deion Burks at slot 250 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
