Grand theft in slot 201: the Chargers steal Mafah and grade out a B-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Phil Mafah got past him. The Chargers do not have to explain a thing at No. 201. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

They will need Taylor to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

Interior defensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In No. 22 they get an anchor for the defensive front. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick55 Rnd2 Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor at the 55th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick86 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at Round 3, Pick 22 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It fills a real need, too.
Pick124 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander at the 124th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick159 Rnd5 Ollie Gordon II
No drama and no debate, Ollie Gordon II went about where he belonged in pick No. 159. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick177 Rnd5 Ajani Cornelius
Value with a capital V on Ajani Cornelius in slot 177, a genuine coup. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick183 Rnd6 Jordan Hancock
The board had cheaper options than Jordan Hancock at pick 183, and it noticed. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick201 Rnd6 Phil Mafah
Phil Mafah in the Round 6 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The roster fit checks out.
Pick215 Rnd6 Luke Lachey
The board fumbled Luke Lachey all the way to the 215th pick, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick220 Rnd7 Kyle Williams
They robbed the room for Kyle Williams here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick253 Rnd7 Hunter Wohler
A tidy little value on Hunter Wohler in pick No. 253, a step better than break-even. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
