Nobody dealt better than the Chargers this weekend: A-. Whoever sat across the table from the Chargers should ask for a receipt. They cleaned the room out, prying loose far more value than they gave up, and it was the quiet MVP of their weekend. The board rewarded a patient, disciplined weekend with a A-.
The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Jones at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.
The Chris Godwin pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns. It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game.
Bottom line, with Nate Wiggins leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.
Pick Analysis
Pick26
Rnd1
Nate Wiggins
In the 26th overall pick they get a sticky cover corner at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick37
Rnd2
Ladd McConkey
Ladd McConkey at the 37th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick57
Rnd2
Braden Fiske
By-the-book stuff, Braden Fiske at the Round 2 slot squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick69
Rnd3
Zach Frazier
Zach Frazier at pick 69 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. It fills a real need, too.
Pick105
Rnd4
Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen in slot 105 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick110
Rnd4
Leonard Taylor III
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Leonard Taylor III. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick140
Rnd5
Christian Jones
Value with a capital V on Christian Jones in No. 140, a genuine coup. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick181
Rnd6
Tip Reiman
Tip Reiman in Round 6, Pick 6 is fair value, right on his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick225
Rnd7
Michael Barrett
A conviction pick on Michael Barrett at Round 7, Pick 5 that the board grades a round light. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick253
Rnd7
Josh Wallace
No edge and no loss on Josh Wallace in the Round 7 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
