You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Chargers did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high. A D- that will need time and luck to look better.

The whole projection now runs through J.J. McCarthy; hit there and everything else looks smarter. That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. McCarthy has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

Getting Jackson where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.
