FutureB-
The Chargers cashed the board's mistake on Amos: B. The Chargers spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Trey Amos, the No. 50 name on the board, in the 253rd overall pick. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.
The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own. They were the ones paying the moving tax this weekend.
In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
Pick Analysis
Pick22
Rnd1
Tyler Warren
In Round 1, Pick 22 they get a moveable chess piece at tight end. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick67
Rnd3
Mike Green
Somehow Mike Green was still sitting there in the 67th overall pick, and they pounced on premier edge rusher value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick86
Rnd3
Nick Emmanwori
Circle this one: Nick Emmanwori at the Round 3 slot is a fall that decides a draft. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick94
Rnd3
Jahdae Barron
They robbed the room for Jahdae Barron here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick116
Rnd4
Jayden Higgins
A wide receiver of that caliber at pick 116 is the definition of value, full stop. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick124
Rnd4
Ashton Jeanty
Taking Ashton Jeanty in pick No. 124 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick159
Rnd5
Jake Majors
Jake Majors in No. 159 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick165
Rnd5
Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell at slot 165 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick177
Rnd5
Walter Nolen
Walter Nolen in pick No. 177 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick183
Rnd6
Wyatt Milum
Steal is underselling it; Wyatt Milum at slot 183 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick201
Rnd6
Cam Ward
The board fumbled Cam Ward all the way to the 201st overall pick, and they scooped it up. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick215
Rnd6
Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild at No. 215 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick217
Rnd6
David Walker
You do not let an edge rusher like David Walker reach Round 6, Pick 39 and blink. They did not. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick220
Rnd7
Tre Harris
They will replay Tre Harris at the Round 7 slot for years; that is how good the value is. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick253
Rnd7
Trey Amos
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Trey Amos in the 253rd pick, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
