The Chargers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-. The Chargers looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Brady Cook at pick No. 256 regardless, 27 picks early. No fireworks, but a solid B-.
They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. That is a running back worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.
A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick22
Rnd1
Colston Loveland
In pick 22 they get a moveable chess piece at tight end. A real need, handled.
Pick55
Rnd2
Josaiah Stewart
A straight-up fair deal on Josaiah Stewart at the Round 2 slot, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick86
Rnd3
Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins at No. 86 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick128
Rnd4
Pat Bryant
They paid up for Pat Bryant at the 128th pick when waiting would have done the job. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick158
Rnd5
Connor Colby
They left a pile of value on the table to take Connor Colby this early at the 158th overall pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick181
Rnd6
Luke Lachey
This one needs a full-page explanation: Luke Lachey in Round 6, Pick 5, miles early. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick199
Rnd6
Jay Higgins
No drama and no debate, Jay Higgins went about where he belonged in No. 199. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick205
Rnd6
Jason Marshall Jr.
Jason Marshall Jr. at slot 205 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick209
Rnd6
Carson Vinson
Carson Vinson at Round 6, Pick 33 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick214
Rnd6
Jordan Hancock
They paid sticker price for Jordan Hancock in pick 214, and that is fine. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick256
Rnd7
Brady Cook
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Brady Cook. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
