Grand theft in pick 177: the Chargers steal Bowman Jr. and grade out a B-.

You build a draft on nights like this. Billy Bowman Jr. had no business being available in the 177th overall pick, and the Chargers did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

Reaching for Lachey left real value on the table behind him. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Nic Scourton
In No. 22 they get a disruptor off the edge, even if it was a touch early. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick55 Rnd2 Jared Ivey
Jared Ivey in Round 2, Pick 23 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick86 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
Taking Alfred Collins in the Round 3 slot is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick124 Rnd4 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
Antwaun Powell-Ryland at the 124th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick159 Rnd5 Luke Lachey
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Luke Lachey well ahead of where he belonged. The roster fit checks out.
Pick177 Rnd5 Billy Bowman Jr.
Somehow Billy Bowman Jr. was still sitting there in the 177th pick, and they pounced on premier safety value. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick183 Rnd6 Tommi Hill
Tommi Hill in pick No. 183 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick201 Rnd6 Kyle Williams
Kyle Williams at slot 201 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
