Grand theft in pick 216: the Chargers steal Scott and grade out a D. Thirty-one other rooms let Justin Scott slide, and the Chargers were the ones holding the card at the 216th overall pick. Highway robbery. Hard to defend, and the D reflects that.
They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. The veteran additions, Justin Jefferson chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.
Pick Analysis
Pick22
Rnd1
Jeremiah Smith
In the Round 1 slot they get a true top target, outstanding value to boot. More want than need.
Pick42
Rnd2
Leonard Moore
They will replay Leonard Moore at pick No. 42 for years; that is how good the value is. It does not line up with the team's obvious holes.
Pick69
Rnd3
Carter Smith
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Carter Smith in pick 69, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick75
Rnd3
Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa
Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa at the 75th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Hard to map this one onto the depth chart at all.
Pick76
Rnd3
Cayden Green
Taking Cayden Green in the 76th overall pick is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It fills a real need, too.
Pick85
Rnd3
Will Echoles
Steal is underselling it; Will Echoles at No. 85 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Where it fits the depth chart is the real question.
Pick86
Rnd3
Damon Wilson II
They robbed the room for Damon Wilson II here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick88
Rnd3
Zabien Brown
Zabien Brown in Round 3, Pick 24 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. This was not a hole anyone had circled.
Pick96
Rnd3
Duce Robinson
Duce Robinson at No. 96 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Not a spot anyone had flagged, which makes it a head-scratcher.
Pick98
Rnd3
Teitum Tuioti
Circle this one: Teitum Tuioti at pick 98 is a fall that decides a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick100
Rnd3
A.J. Holmes Jr.
They barely believed it either: A.J. Holmes Jr. still on the board at the 100th pick. A pick in search of a role on this roster.
Pick103
Rnd4
Jayden Maiava
Jayden Maiava at slot 103 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The roster reasoning here is anyone's guess.
Pick106
Rnd4
Trevor Goosby
Trevor Goosby in the Round 4 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick114
Rnd4
KJ Duff
The board fumbled KJ Duff all the way to Round 4, Pick 14, and they scooped it up. It fits a board better than it fits this team.
Pick115
Rnd4
Trey'Dez Green
You do not let a tight end like Trey'Dez Green reach the 115th overall pick and blink. They did not. The roster logic is harder to follow.
Pick123
Rnd4
Dante Moore
Dante Moore at pick No. 123 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A fine player at a spot low on the priority list.
Pick162
Rnd5
Brice Pollock
A cornerback of that caliber at No. 162 is the definition of value, full stop. Need-wise, a curious use of the pick.
Pick175
Rnd5
A'Mauri Washington
Somehow A'Mauri Washington was still sitting there in pick No. 175, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. It fits a board better than it fits this team.
Pick178
Rnd5
Kade Pieper
Kade Pieper in the Round 5 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick192
Rnd6
Jamari Johnson
Jamari Johnson in pick 192 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Where it fits the depth chart is the real question.
Pick202
Rnd6
Trevor Lauck
They barely believed it either: Trevor Lauck still on the board at the 202nd pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick206
Rnd6
Keon Sabb
Keon Sabb at slot 206 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Need-wise, a curious use of the pick.
Pick210
Rnd6
Rasheem Biles
They robbed the room for Rasheem Biles here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The roster reasoning here is anyone's guess.
Pick215
Rnd6
Kelley Jones
They will replay Kelley Jones at the 215th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. It does not line up with the team's obvious holes.
Pick216
Rnd6
Justin Scott
Steal is underselling it; Justin Scott at the 216th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Hard to map this one onto the depth chart at all.
Pick217
Rnd7
Austin Siereveld
You do not let an offensive lineman like Austin Siereveld reach slot 217 and blink. They did not. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick218
Rnd7
Bear Alexander
Bear Alexander in pick No. 218 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A pick in search of a role on this roster.
Pick219
Rnd7
LJ Martin
The board fumbled LJ Martin all the way to pick 219, and they scooped it up. This was not a hole anyone had circled.
Pick220
Rnd7
Raleek Brown

Pick221
Rnd7
Luke Montgomery

Pick222
Rnd7
Wyatt Young
Wyatt Young at the 222nd pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The roster logic is harder to follow.
Pick223
Rnd7
Anthony Smith
Anthony Smith in No. 223 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick224
Rnd7
Will Heldt
A top-tier edge rusher at a bargain, Will Heldt in the Round 7 slot, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick225
Rnd7
Ahmad Moten Sr.
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at No. 225 is the definition of value, full stop. Not a spot anyone had flagged, which makes it a head-scratcher.
Pick226
Rnd7
Walker Lyons
Circle this one: Walker Lyons at Round 7, Pick 10 is a fall that decides a draft. It does not line up with the team's obvious holes.
Pick227
Rnd7

Pick228
Rnd7

Pick229
Rnd7
Taylor Wein
The board fumbled Taylor Wein all the way to the 229th pick, and they scooped it up. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick230
Rnd7

Pick231

Pick233
Rnd7

Pick235
Rnd7

Pick236
Rnd7

Pick237
