FutureB
The Chargers let Borregales fall and pounced. Final grade: B. Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Andres Borregales got past him. The Chargers do not have to explain a thing at the Round 7 slot. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.
They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. It is not that Knight Jr. is a bad player; it is that the Chargers had louder needs to answer first. Interior defensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick Analysis
Pick37
Rnd2
Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren in the 37th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick55
Rnd2
Walter Nolen
Taking Walter Nolen in pick 55 is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick68
Rnd3
Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton at No. 68 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick95
Rnd3
Jihaad Campbell
The board fumbled Jihaad Campbell all the way to the 95th pick, and they scooped it up. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick123
Rnd4
Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins at pick No. 123 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick128
Rnd4
Demetrius Knight Jr.
A surprising call. With edge rusher, wide receiver and other spots still to address, they spent the Round 4 slot on Demetrius Knight Jr., a linebacker they were not short of.
Pick142
Rnd5
Jake Majors
They robbed the room for Jake Majors here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick157
Rnd5
Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson in slot 157 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick164
Rnd5
Carson Schwesinger
Carson Schwesinger in Round 5, Pick 27 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick179
Rnd6
Jonah Monheim
Steal is underselling it; Jonah Monheim at the Round 6 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick197
Rnd6
Smael Mondon Jr.
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Smael Mondon Jr. in pick No. 197, plain and simple. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick208
Rnd6
Hayden Conner
A clean, defensible pick in the 208th overall pick with a little surplus value in Hayden Conner. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick213
Rnd6
Addison West
Addison West slid further than he should have, and the 213th pick is lovely value for the offensive lineman. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick218
Rnd7
Jeffrey Bassa
Jeffrey Bassa at pick 218 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick222
Rnd7
Oronde Gadsden II
You do not let a tight end like Oronde Gadsden II reach No. 222 and blink. They did not. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick253
Rnd7
Andres Borregales
Somehow Andres Borregales was still sitting there in slot 253, and they pounced on premier specialist value. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
