Larceny in the 95th overall pick lands the Chargers a A, James and all. The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: D.J. James, pick 95, roughly 31 picks past where he belonged. The board rewarded a patient, disciplined weekend with a A.
The phones were where this weekend was really won. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.
Adding Fred Warner by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.
In the end it comes back to Cooper DeJean, and a haul good enough to build on right away.
Pick Analysis
Pick31
Rnd1
Cooper DeJean
In the 31st pick they get a sticky cover corner, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick37
Rnd2
Xavier Legette
A slide stopped in pick 37, with Xavier Legette worth more than the price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick64
Rnd2
Jackson Powers-Johnson
They read the board right and Jackson Powers-Johnson was the payoff at pick No. 64. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick69
Rnd3
Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie at Round 3, Pick 5 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick95
Rnd3
D.J. James
D.J. James at slot 95 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick105
Rnd4
Mike Sainristil
They will replay Mike Sainristil at No. 105 for years; that is how good the value is. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick132
Rnd4
Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg at the Round 4 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick134
Rnd4
Javon Foster
Fair-plus on Javon Foster, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The roster fit checks out.
Pick142
Rnd5
Ben Sinnott
By-the-book stuff, Ben Sinnott at pick 142 squarely in line with his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick183
Rnd6
Kitan Oladapo
Value with a capital V on Kitan Oladapo in the 183rd overall pick, a genuine coup. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick226
Rnd7
Austin Stogner
Circle this one: Austin Stogner at the Round 7 slot is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
