Boards are made to be trusted, and the Chargers shredded theirs for Joey Slackman. He came off 94 spots early, and the room will hear about it. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

Higgins at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same. Job largely done: interior defensive lineman settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
