The rest of the league had time to spare on Gabe Hall; the Chargers did not wait, grabbing him 24 spots ahead at slot 183.
For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Green.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.
Pick-by-Pick
In the Round 1 slot they get an island corner. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
They took Xavier Worthy at par in the 37th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
A straight-up fair deal on Payton Wilson at pick 69, value and slot in agreement. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Marshawn Kneeland in No. 105 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
They paid up for Theo Johnson at pick No. 142 when waiting would have done the job. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
They reached into another round for Gabe Hall, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
They let Jalen Green come to them and pounced at pick No. 226. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
