Nobody had C.J. Hanson this high, and it is not close. The Chargers reached 38 spots to get him at No. 225. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B+.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.7 · Pick 7 · Rome Odunze · WR · rank 9
In the Round 1 slot they get a true top target. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.5 · Pick 37 · Kamari Lassiter · CB · rank 41
Kamari Lassiter in Round 2, Pick 5 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R2.6 · Pick 38 · T'Vondre Sweat · DT · rank 45
A straight-up fair deal on T'Vondre Sweat at slot 38, value and slot in agreement. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R3.5 · Pick 69 · Trey Benson · RB · rank 87
They reached a country mile for Trey Benson at pick 69, and the board is aghast. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R4.5 · Pick 105 · Matt Goncalves · OT · rank 115
A reach for Matt Goncalves in the 105th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R4.10 · Pick 110 · Theo Johnson · TE · rank 123
They liked Theo Johnson enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 110. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R5.4 · Pick 140 · Luke McCaffrey · WR · rank 149
Luke McCaffrey at pick 140 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R6.6 · Pick 181 · Ty'Ron Hopper · LB · rank 181
They took Ty'Ron Hopper at par in Round 6, Pick 6, which is nothing to complain about. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R7.1 · Pick 221 · Myles Harden · CB · rank 209
The board had Myles Harden higher than the Round 7 slot, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R7.5 · Pick 225 · C.J. Hanson · OG · rank 263
A swing that ignored the value entirely, C.J. Hanson well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R7.33 · Pick 253 · Nick Gargiulo · C · rank 281
Nick Gargiulo at slot 253 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
