A franchise passer in Williams headlines a D+ weekend for the Chargers. The phones were a trap the Chargers kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal.
They have staked the next five years on Caleb Williams, which is the only story that really matters here. On value alone, Jackson makes the weekend a net positive. The cost of the Irving reach is exactly the players who went right after him.
In the end, a class the front office will want to grow past quickly.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Caleb Williams
In Round 1, Pick 1 they get the face of the franchise. A real need, handled.
Pick5
Rnd1
Malik Nabers
In the 5th pick they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick9
Rnd1
Joe Alt
In pick No. 9 they get a blindside protector at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick37
Rnd2
Troy Franklin
Troy Franklin in the Round 2 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick38
Rnd2
Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
They did well to land Ennis Rakestraw Jr. in slot 38, just ahead of his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick69
Rnd3
Adisa Isaac
They let Adisa Isaac come to them and pounced at the 69th overall pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick75
Rnd3
Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at No. 75 is the proof. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick83
Rnd3
Bucky Irving
Bucky Irving in pick 83 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick105
Rnd4
DeWayne Carter
A tidy little value on DeWayne Carter in slot 105, a step better than break-even. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick110
Rnd4
Kris Abrams-Draine
Kris Abrams-Draine in pick 110 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick122
Rnd4
Zak Zinter
They read the board right and Zak Zinter was the payoff at the 122nd pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick140
Rnd5
Will Shipley
Will Shipley in the Round 5 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick181
Rnd6
Anthony Gould
They will replay Anthony Gould at pick No. 181 for years; that is how good the value is. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick182
Rnd6
Dallin Holker
Steal is underselling it; Dallin Holker at the 182nd overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick225
Rnd7
Jha'Quan Jackson
Circle this one: Jha'Quan Jackson at No. 225 is a fall that decides a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick253
Rnd7
Michael Barrett
The board fumbled Michael Barrett all the way to Round 7, Pick 33, and they scooped it up. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
