Grand theft in pick No. 199: the Chargers steal Neal and grade out a B+. Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Devin Neal got past him. The Chargers do not have to explain a thing at the 199th pick. More right than wrong, and a B+ to match.
Smith has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast.
A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick27
Rnd1
Mike Green
In pick 27 they get juice off the edge, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick55
Rnd2
Tyler Booker
A slide stopped in the 55th pick, with Tyler Booker worth more than the price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick86
Rnd3
Deone Walker
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like Deone Walker reach the 86th overall pick and blink. They did not. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick87
Rnd3
Harold Fannin Jr.
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Harold Fannin Jr. in pick No. 87, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick100
Rnd3
Jayden Higgins
They robbed the room for Jayden Higgins here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick123
Rnd4
Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins in Round 4, Pick 22 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick125
Rnd4
Tai Felton
Steal is underselling it; Tai Felton at the Round 4 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick127
Rnd4
Jake Majors
Jake Majors at slot 127 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick157
Rnd5
Donovan Smith
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Donovan Smith. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick179
Rnd6
Smael Mondon Jr.
They barely believed it either: Smael Mondon Jr. still on the board at slot 179. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick197
Rnd6
Tonka Hemingway
They reached a country mile for Tonka Hemingway at pick No. 197, and the board is aghast. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick199
Rnd6
Devin Neal
Devin Neal in pick 199 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick208
Rnd6
Connor Colby
The board fumbled Connor Colby all the way to the 208th overall pick, and they scooped it up. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick213
Rnd6
Cody Simon
Cody Simon in Round 6, Pick 38 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick218
Rnd7
Mitchell Evans
Taking Mitchell Evans in No. 218 is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick253
Rnd7
Upton Stout
A safety of that caliber at the Round 7 slot is the definition of value, full stop. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
