Best value of the weekend goes to the Chargers for Stutsman: B+. The Chargers did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Danny Stutsman fell into the 209th overall pick.
If Hayes pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.
The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes. They trusted the board more than the depth chart.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick55
Rnd2
Xavier Restrepo
Xavier Restrepo in pick 55 lands just on the right side of the ledger. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick86
Rnd3
Jordan Burch
Jordan Burch in slot 86 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick148
Rnd5
Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor in the 148th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick157
Rnd5
TreVeyon Henderson
Steal is underselling it; TreVeyon Henderson at Round 5, Pick 20 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick170
Rnd5
JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues at pick No. 170 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick179
Rnd6
Dorian Strong
Dorian Strong at the Round 6 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick197
Rnd6
Seth McLaughlin
No drama and no debate, Seth McLaughlin went about where he belonged in No. 197. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick208
Rnd6
Tonka Hemingway
Tonka Hemingway at the 208th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick209
Rnd6
Danny Stutsman
They barely believed it either: Danny Stutsman still on the board at No. 209. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick213
Rnd6
Dayon Hayes
This one needs a full-page explanation: Dayon Hayes in the 213th overall pick, miles early. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick218
Rnd7
Smael Mondon Jr.
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Smael Mondon Jr. in Round 7, Pick 2, plain and simple. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick253
Rnd7
Connor Colby
Circle this one: Connor Colby at pick No. 253 is a fall that decides a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
