FutureA
Larceny in No. 181 lands the Chargers a B-, Newton and all. The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Josh Newton, the Round 6 slot, roughly 28 picks past where he belonged. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.
If Barner pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.
The dealing tilted against them, just enough to notice.
A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Jackson Powers-Johnson
In pick 25 they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick37
Rnd2
Ladd McConkey
They read the board right and Ladd McConkey was the payoff at the Round 2 slot. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick41
Rnd2
Roman Wilson
No edge and no loss on Roman Wilson in No. 41; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick69
Rnd3
Blake Corum
Blake Corum in slot 69 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick91
Rnd3
Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher in Round 3, Pick 28 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick105
Rnd4
Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at the 105th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick110
Rnd4
Brandon Coleman
Brandon Coleman at the 110th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick126
Rnd4
Matt Goncalves
Matt Goncalves at pick No. 126 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The roster fit checks out.
Pick140
Rnd5
AJ Barner
Value said wait; AJ Barner in slot 140 says they were not listening. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick181
Rnd6
Josh Newton
They will replay Josh Newton at pick 181 for years; that is how good the value is. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick225
Rnd7
Darius Muasau
Good price on Darius Muasau in No. 225, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick253
Rnd7
Michael Barrett
No drama and no debate, Michael Barrett went about where he belonged in the Round 7 slot. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
