The Chargers cashed the board's mistake on Clarke: D. The Chargers spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Peter Clarke, the No. 82 name on the board, in the 244th overall pick.
Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. The Chargers paired the rookies with proven help, Chris Olave leading the way.
It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.
Pick Analysis
Pick22
Rnd1
Jeremiah Smith
In the 22nd overall pick they get a No. 1 receiver, outstanding value to boot. Need was not the driver here.
Pick48
Rnd2
A.J. Holmes Jr.
Steal is underselling it; A.J. Holmes Jr. at No. 48 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick75
Rnd3
Carter Smith
Carter Smith in pick No. 75 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick78
Rnd3
Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa
They robbed the room for Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Hard to map this one onto the depth chart at all.
Pick86
Rnd3
Cayden Green
They barely believed it either: Cayden Green still on the board at slot 86. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick87
Rnd3
Will Echoles
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at the Round 3 slot is the definition of value, full stop. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick96
Rnd3
KJ Duff
Somehow KJ Duff was still sitting there in the 96th pick, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. This was not a hole anyone had circled.
Pick98
Rnd3
Teitum Tuioti
Teitum Tuioti in pick 98 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick99
Rnd3
Brice Pollock
You do not let a cornerback like Brice Pollock reach slot 99 and blink. They did not. A fine player at a spot low on the priority list.
Pick100
Rnd3
Jayden Maiava
A straight-up fair deal on Jayden Maiava at pick No. 100, value and slot in agreement. It fits a board better than it fits this team.
Pick105
Rnd4
Dashawn Spears
Dashawn Spears at pick 105 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It does not line up with the team's obvious holes.
Pick106
Rnd4
Justin Scott
The board fumbled Justin Scott all the way to the Round 4 slot, and they scooped it up. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick112
Rnd4
Jadan Baugh
Jadan Baugh in the 112th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Not a spot anyone had flagged, which makes it a head-scratcher.
Pick113
Rnd4
Kade Pieper
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Kade Pieper in No. 113, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick114
Rnd4
Jamari Johnson
Jamari Johnson at Round 4, Pick 14 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A pick in search of a role on this roster.
Pick119
Rnd4
A'Mauri Washington
They will replay A'Mauri Washington at the 119th pick for years; that is how good the value is. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick123
Rnd4
Trevor Goosby
Trevor Goosby at No. 123 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick139
Rnd5
Dante Moore
Circle this one: Dante Moore at pick No. 139 is a fall that decides a draft. The roster reasoning here is anyone's guess.
Pick143
Rnd5
Will Heldt
Taking Will Heldt in pick 143 is close to grand larceny; an edge rusher that good had no business lasting this long. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick151
Rnd5
Tae Johnson
A safety of that caliber at the 151st overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. The roster logic is harder to follow.
Pick154
Rnd5
Austin Siereveld
Austin Siereveld at slot 154 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick155
Rnd5
Trevor Lauck
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Trevor Lauck in Round 5, Pick 17, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick165
Rnd5
Rasheem Biles
Circle this one: Rasheem Biles at the Round 5 slot is a fall that decides a draft. Need-wise, a curious use of the pick.
Pick167
Rnd5
Wyatt Young
Wyatt Young in the 167th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Where it fits the depth chart is the real question.
Pick179
Rnd5
Kelley Jones
Kelley Jones in pick 179 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A fine player at a spot low on the priority list.
Pick184
Rnd6
Luke Montgomery
Luke Montgomery at slot 184 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It fills a real need, too.
Pick185
Rnd6
Jyaire Hill
Steal is underselling it; Jyaire Hill at No. 185 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The roster reasoning here is anyone's guess.
Pick186
Rnd6
Devin McCuin
They robbed the room for Devin McCuin here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It does not line up with the team's obvious holes.
Pick190
Rnd6
Keon Sabb
You do not let a safety like Keon Sabb reach pick No. 190 and blink. They did not. Hard to map this one onto the depth chart at all.
Pick191
Rnd6
Anthony Smith
Taking Anthony Smith in the Round 6 slot is close to grand larceny; an edge rusher that good had no business lasting this long. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick195
Rnd6
Bear Alexander
Bear Alexander in the 195th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick196
Rnd6
Walker Lyons
They barely believed it either: Walker Lyons still on the board at the 196th pick. This was not a hole anyone had circled.
Pick198
Rnd6
Evan Tengesdahl
The board fumbled Evan Tengesdahl all the way to No. 198, and they scooped it up. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick202
Rnd6
Ahmad Moten Sr.
They will replay Ahmad Moten Sr. at pick No. 202 for years; that is how good the value is. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick203
Rnd6
Mateen Ibirogba
Mateen Ibirogba at slot 203 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick206
Rnd6
LJ Martin
Somehow LJ Martin was still sitting there in pick 206, and they pounced on premier running back value. Not a spot anyone had flagged, which makes it a head-scratcher.
Pick210
Rnd6
Shadre Hurst
Taking Shadre Hurst in the 210th overall pick is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick212
Rnd6
Omarion Miller
They will replay Omarion Miller at the Round 6 slot for years; that is how good the value is. Where it fits the depth chart is the real question.
Pick218
Rnd7
Raylen Wilson
Raylen Wilson at the 218th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Need-wise, a curious use of the pick.
Pick222
Rnd7
Solomon Tuliaupupu
Solomon Tuliaupupu in Round 7, Pick 6 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick223
Rnd7
Greg Johnson
A offensive lineman of that caliber at Round 7, Pick 7 is the definition of value, full stop. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick227
Rnd7
Drew Bobo
Circle this one: Drew Bobo at the 227th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick230
Rnd7
Cooper Barkate
They barely believed it either: Cooper Barkate still on the board at pick No. 230. A pick in search of a role on this roster.
Pick232
Rnd7
Elijah Paige
They robbed the room for Elijah Paige here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick233
Rnd7
Darian Mensah
Steal is underselling it; Darian Mensah at slot 233 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It fits a board better than it fits this team.
Pick234
Rnd7
Raleek Brown
Somehow Raleek Brown was still sitting there in the Round 7 slot, and they pounced on premier running back value. The roster logic is harder to follow.
Pick236
Rnd7
Ty Benefield
Ty Benefield at No. 236 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Hard to map this one onto the depth chart at all.
Pick240
Rnd7
John Curry
The board fumbled John Curry all the way to the 240th pick, and they scooped it up. A pick in search of a role on this roster.
Pick243
Rnd7
Xavier Lucas
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Xavier Lucas in Round 7, Pick 27, plain and simple. The roster logic is harder to follow.
Pick244
Rnd7
Peter Clarke
Peter Clarke in No. 244 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The roster reasoning here is anyone's guess.
Pick247
Rnd7
Benjamin Brahmer
You do not let a tight end like Benjamin Brahmer reach slot 247 and blink. They did not. A fine player at a spot low on the priority list.
Pick250
Rnd7
Amare Ferrell
Amare Ferrell in pick 250 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Need-wise, a curious use of the pick.
Pick251
Rnd7
Iapani Laloulu
Iapani Laloulu at the Round 7 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick253
Rnd7
Cam Cook
Circle this one: Cam Cook at the 253rd pick is a fall that decides a draft. Not a spot anyone had flagged, which makes it a head-scratcher.
Pick254
Rnd7
Koi Perich
The board fumbled Koi Perich all the way to the 254th overall pick, and they scooped it up. Where it fits the depth chart is the real question.
Pick255
Rnd7
Jayden Virgin-Morgan
Somehow Jayden Virgin-Morgan was still sitting there in pick No. 255, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. It does not line up with the team's obvious holes.
Pick256
Rnd7
Elinneus Davis
They barely believed it either: Elinneus Davis still on the board at No. 256. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick257
Rnd7
Christian Alliegro
Christian Alliegro at the Round 7 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. This was not a hole anyone had circled.
