FutureA
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Chargers and Stone: B+. Thirty-one other rooms let David Stone slide, and the Chargers were the ones holding the card at the Round 3 slot. Highway robbery.
They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it. The Benefield pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at cornerback, quarterback and other spots.
Josh Oliver gives the group a proven body among the projects.
Good work on the whole, with cornerback the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Colin Simmons
In pick No. 1 they get a bendy edge with upside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick65
Rnd3
David Stone
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, David Stone in No. 65, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick100
Rnd3
Ty Benefield
Of all the spots to shop, they chose safety. Ty Benefield in the Round 3 slot leaves cornerback, quarterback and other spots for later.
Pick106
Rnd4
Nyck Harbor
They went early on Nyck Harbor in Round 4, Pick 4, and the value did not follow. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick140
Rnd5
Jackson Bennee
They will replay Jackson Bennee at slot 140 for years; that is how good the value is. The roster reasoning here is anyone's guess.
Pick158
Rnd5
Jordan Marshall
A reach for Jordan Marshall in the 158th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick222
Rnd7
Coen Echols
A tidy bit of business in pick 222, where Coen Echols graded well above the range. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick233
Rnd7
Malachi Breland
No drama and no debate, Malachi Breland went about where he belonged in the 233rd pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
