The Chargers turned the phones into found money: B. The Chargers ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided.
That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Every board in the league had Gore Jr. lower, and that gap is the story. Getting Jackson where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.
Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Pick Analysis
Pick11
Rnd1
Rome Odunze
In pick 11 they get a weapon on the perimeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick23
Rnd1
Amarius Mims
In the 23rd pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick37
Rnd2
Junior Colson
Junior Colson at slot 37 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick40
Rnd2
Kris Jenkins
They went early on Kris Jenkins in the 40th overall pick, and the value did not follow. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick69
Rnd3
Malik Washington
They liked Malik Washington enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 3 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick105
Rnd4
Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson slid further than he should have, and No. 105 is lovely value for the cornerback. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick140
Rnd5
Mason McCormick
A reach for Mason McCormick in Round 5, Pick 4; a little patience would have been rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick177
Rnd6
McKinnley Jackson
They read the board right and McKinnley Jackson was the payoff at pick No. 177. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick181
Rnd6
Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern at pick No. 181 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick225
Rnd7
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint in pick 225 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick230
Rnd7
Trey Taylor
No edge and no loss on Trey Taylor in slot 230; it is a wash and a sensible one. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick253
Rnd7
Frank Gore Jr.
They paid a round early for Frank Gore Jr. in the 253rd pick, more than the board wanted. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
