Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Chargers spent the 143rd overall pick on Darius Robinson, a name the board had a full 55 spots lower.
Landing Pearsall that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
Pick-by-Pick
No edge and no loss on Brock Bowers in Round 1, Pick 6; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Leonard Taylor III at pick No. 38 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
They went early on TreVeyon Henderson in slot 70, and the value did not follow. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Cam Hart. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
They talked themselves into Darius Robinson at the 143rd overall pick, and the board did not agree. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
A tidy little value on Cody Schrader in No. 184, a step better than break-even. The roster fit checks out.
They robbed the room for Ricky Pearsall here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
