FutureC-
Barrett should have been long gone. The Chargers pounced, and earned a B. Whoever sat across the table from the Chargers should ask for a receipt. They cleaned the room out, prying loose far more value than they gave up, and it was the quiet MVP of their weekend. The bottom line is a respectable B.
Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Barrett. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
The Reed reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.
Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick22
Rnd1
Terrion Arnold
Good price on Terrion Arnold in slot 22, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick37
Rnd2
Graham Barton
A slide stopped in Round 2, Pick 5, with Graham Barton worth more than the price. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick48
Rnd2
Junior Colson
A straight-up fair deal on Junior Colson at pick 48, value and slot in agreement. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick50
Rnd2
Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe at No. 50 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick97
Rnd3
Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice in the Round 3 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick105
Rnd4
MarShawn Lloyd
MarShawn Lloyd is a better player than pick No. 105 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick140
Rnd5
Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott slid further than he should have, and the 140th overall pick is lovely value for the tight end. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick181
Rnd6
Tahj Washington
By-the-book stuff, Tahj Washington at the 181st pick squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick194
Rnd6
Delmar Glaze
No drama and no debate, Delmar Glaze went about where he belonged in pick 194. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick253
Rnd7
Michael Barrett
The board fumbled Michael Barrett all the way to the Round 7 slot, and they scooped it up. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick256
Rnd7
Austin Reed
They talked themselves into Austin Reed at pick No. 256, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick257
Rnd7
KT Leveston
A quiet steal in slot 257: KT Leveston for less than the market said. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
