The Chargers checked most of the boxes and earned a B. You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Chargers did exactly that with Jamaree Caldwell in the 215th pick. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.
Getting Bryant where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.
They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.
Good work on the whole, with cornerback the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick23
Rnd1
Tyler Warren
In pick No. 23 they get a matchup weapon at tight end, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick55
Rnd2
Omarion Hampton
Steal is underselling it; Omarion Hampton at the 55th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick86
Rnd3
Jordan Burch
Jordan Burch in slot 86 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick87
Rnd3
Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander in No. 87 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick124
Rnd4
Jared Wilson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jared Wilson in pick 124. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick159
Rnd5
Oluwafemi Oladejo
A big swing on Oluwafemi Oladejo at Round 5, Pick 20, well ahead of any board in the building. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick177
Rnd5
Jordan Hancock
Jordan Hancock at No. 177 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick183
Rnd6
Jaylen Reed
No edge and no loss on Jaylen Reed in Round 6, Pick 5; it is a wash and a sensible one. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick201
Rnd6
Ollie Gordon II
They barely believed it either: Ollie Gordon II still on the board at the 201st overall pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick215
Rnd6
Jamaree Caldwell
Jamaree Caldwell at slot 215 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick220
Rnd7
Pat Bryant
Pat Bryant in the Round 7 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick253
Rnd7
Bryson Nesbit
They reached into another round for Bryson Nesbit, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
