The Chargers looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Sam Hartman at pick 188 regardless, 72 picks early. The bottom line is a respectable B-.
The Pearsall pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman.
A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
Pick-by-Pick
In Round 1, Pick 6 they get a seam-stretching tight end at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
They went early on Jordan Morgan in the 38th pick, and the value did not follow. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Sedrick Van Pran in No. 70 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
No edge and no loss on Roman Wilson in pick No. 110; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Cody Schrader at the 143rd overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Darius Robinson in the Round 6 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Value said wait; Sam Hartman in the Round 6 slot says they were not listening. The roster fit checks out.
Ricky Pearsall at slot 227 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
