FutureB-
The phones sank the Chargers this weekend: C. There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Chargers started one anyway for Austin Reed, 56 picks ahead of schedule. It nets out a thoroughly average C.
The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer.
So much rides on Tyler Guyton that the real verdict is a season or two away.
Pick Analysis
Pick27
Rnd1
Tyler Guyton
In slot 27 they get protection for the quarterback. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick30
Rnd1
Troy Franklin
In No. 30 they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick32
Rnd1
Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 32 they get a lockdown presence outside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick62
Rnd2
Malik Washington
They reached a country mile for Malik Washington at pick No. 62, and the board is aghast. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick86
Rnd3
Blake Corum
No edge and no loss on Blake Corum in the Round 3 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick95
Rnd3
Khyree Jackson
They took Khyree Jackson at par in the 95th pick, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick110
Rnd4
Zak Zinter
A reasonable price with a little left over, Zak Zinter in pick No. 110. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick115
Rnd4
Cedric Gray
No drama and no debate, Cedric Gray went about where he belonged in Round 4, Pick 15. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick118
Rnd4
Javon Foster
A straight-up fair deal on Javon Foster at slot 118, value and slot in agreement. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick127
Rnd4
Jared Wiley
A real head-scratcher, Jared Wiley in No. 127 is miles ahead of his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick132
Rnd4
AJ Barner
Value said wait; AJ Barner in the 132nd overall pick says they were not listening. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick140
Rnd5
Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten in the Round 5 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. It fills a real need, too.
Pick152
Rnd5
Jordan Travis
Jordan Travis at pick 152 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick156
Rnd5
Isaiah Davis
Isaiah Davis in the 156th pick is fair value, right on his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick171
Rnd5
Evan Williams
Evan Williams at the 171st pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick172
Rnd5
Tanor Bortolini
They liked Tanor Bortolini enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 5, Pick 36. The roster fit checks out.
Pick181
Rnd6
Jaylen Harrell
They talked themselves into Jaylen Harrell at the Round 6 slot, and the board did not agree. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick184
Rnd6
Ty'Ron Hopper
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ty'Ron Hopper. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick218
Rnd6
Austin Reed
They reached into another round for Austin Reed, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick222
Rnd7
Keaton Bills
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Keaton Bills well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick225
Rnd7
Michael Barrett
A reach for Michael Barrett in slot 225; a little patience would have been rewarded. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick243
Rnd7
Jaden Shirden
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jaden Shirden this early at No. 243. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick253
Rnd7
Josh Wallace
They paid sticker price for Josh Wallace in Round 7, Pick 33, and that is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
