The steal of the weekend belongs to the Chargers and Sarratt: B-.

The board owed the Chargers one, and it paid up: Elijah Sarratt, the No. 76 name on the board, sitting there at the 123rd pick like a gift left on the doorstep.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 2 of 8 of the wish list covered. They trusted the board more than the depth chart.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In the Round 1 slot they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker, and a steal at that. Need was not the driver here.
Pick55 Rnd2 Chase Bisontis
They took Chase Bisontis at par in pick 55, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick86 Rnd3 Jake Slaughter
They barely believed it either: Jake Slaughter still on the board at the 86th pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick123 Rnd4 Elijah Sarratt
Taking Elijah Sarratt in slot 123 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick204 Rnd6 VJ Payne
VJ Payne at No. 204 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
