The Chargers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B. The Chargers did not so much draft Jasheen Davis as overpay for him, 90 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.
The Styles pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.
They trusted the board more than the depth chart.
Good work on the whole, with cornerback the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick24
Rnd1
Tyler Warren
In Round 1, Pick 24 they get a moveable chess piece at tight end at fair value.
Pick55
Rnd2
Xavier Watts
Nice patience on Xavier Watts, who had no business lasting to pick No. 55. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick86
Rnd3
Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge at No. 86 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick97
Rnd3
Jake Majors
Nothing to complain about; Jake Majors went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick123
Rnd4
Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. in the 123rd pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick138
Rnd5
DeMonte Capehart
A premium they did not need to pay, DeMonte Capehart a notch or two before his time. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick157
Rnd5
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at the 157th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick179
Rnd6
Ollie Gordon II
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Ollie Gordon II at the Round 6 slot is the proof. It fills a real need, too.
Pick197
Rnd6
Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles in pick No. 197 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick208
Rnd6
Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson in Round 6, Pick 33 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick213
Rnd6
Alex Mastromanno
Alex Mastromanno at pick 213 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick218
Rnd7
Jasheen Davis
They reached into another round for Jasheen Davis, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick253
Rnd7
Jack Kiser
Circle this one: Jack Kiser at the 253rd overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
