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
In the Round 1 slot they get a true top target. Exactly the need they had to hit.
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.
A straight-up fair deal on T'Vondre Sweat at slot 38, value and slot in agreement. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
They reached a country mile for Trey Benson at pick 69, and the board is aghast. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
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.
They liked Theo Johnson enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 110. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
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.
They took Ty'Ron Hopper at par in Round 6, Pick 6, which is nothing to complain about. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
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.
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.
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.
