The Chargers spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Garret Greenfield, the No. 216 name on the board, in slot 253. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B+.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. The Chargers paired the rookies with proven help, Will Hernandez leading the way.

The Brooks reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.27 · Pick 27 · Troy Fautanu · OT · rank 23
In the 27th overall pick they get a building block for the line. A real need, handled.
R2.3 · Pick 35 · Keon Coleman · WR · rank 41
Keon Coleman at No. 35 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R2.5 · Pick 37 · Jonathon Brooks · RB · rank 45
Jonathon Brooks in Round 2, Pick 5 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A need, and now a little less of one.
R2.25 · Pick 57 · Junior Colson · LB · rank 49
Junior Colson is a better player than pick 57 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R3.5 · Pick 69 · Javon Bullard · S · rank 58
Value with a capital V on Javon Bullard in pick No. 69, a genuine coup. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R3.29 · Pick 92 · Ja'Lynn Polk · WR · rank 76
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Ja'Lynn Polk in slot 92. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R4.4 · Pick 104 · Leonard Taylor III · DL · rank 112
They paid a round early for Leonard Taylor III in the 104th pick, more than the board wanted. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R4.5 · Pick 105 · Braelon Allen · RB · rank 108
No edge and no loss on Braelon Allen in the Round 4 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R4.10 · Pick 110 · Malik Washington · WR · rank 96
Malik Washington slipping to pick 110 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R4.25 · Pick 125 · Josh Newton · CB · rank 122
Josh Newton at No. 125 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R5.4 · Pick 140 · Chau Smith-Wade · CB · rank 127
Chau Smith-Wade slid further than he should have, and the 140th overall pick is lovely value for the cornerback. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R5.34 · Pick 170 · Layden Robinson · OG · rank 176
A straight-up fair deal on Layden Robinson at the Round 5 slot, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
R6.6 · Pick 181 · Dillon Johnson · RB · rank 167
The board had Dillon Johnson higher than the 181st pick, and the running back fell to them anyway. It fills a real need, too.
R7.5 · Pick 225 · Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint · WR · rank 195
You do not let a wide receiver like Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint reach Round 7, Pick 5 and blink. They did not. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R7.33 · Pick 253 · Garret Greenfield · OT · rank 216
Garret Greenfield at pick No. 253 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
