A solid, sensible weekend for the Chargers: B.

The Chargers did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Dominic Lovett fell into slot 226.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. The cost of the Sanders reach is exactly the players who went right after him.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick No. 5 they get a matchup problem out wide. Exactly the need they had to hit.
They read the board right and Jordan Morgan was the payoff at the 37th pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
A straight-up fair deal on D.J. James at Round 3, Pick 5, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
TreVeyon Henderson at pick 105 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It fills a real need, too.
Theo Johnson at the Round 5 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
T.J. Sanders at pick No. 183 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Dominic Lovett at the 226th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
