FutureB
The Chargers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B. The Chargers put a flag in the ground for Jamaree Caldwell, 112 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.
The Belton value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick23
Rnd1
Kenneth Grant
A tidy little value on Kenneth Grant in the Round 1 slot, a step better than break-even. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick55
Rnd2
Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at Round 2, Pick 23 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick86
Rnd3
Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor at the 86th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick123
Rnd4
Darius Alexander
They went early on Darius Alexander in slot 123, and the value did not follow. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick124
Rnd4
Jared Wilson
They let Jared Wilson come to them and pounced at pick 124. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick159
Rnd5
Damien Martinez
Damien Martinez in No. 159 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick177
Rnd5
Anthony Belton
You do not let an offensive lineman like Anthony Belton reach pick 177 and blink. They did not. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick183
Rnd6
Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II slipping to pick No. 183 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick201
Rnd6
Jordan Hancock
No edge and no loss on Jordan Hancock in Round 6, Pick 23; it is a wash and a sensible one. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick215
Rnd6
Jaylen Reed
Jaylen Reed in No. 215 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick220
Rnd7
Jamaree Caldwell
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jamaree Caldwell. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick253
Rnd7
Bryson Nesbit
They talked themselves into Bryson Nesbit at slot 253, and the board did not agree. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
