The rest of the league had time to spare on Darius Robinson; the Chargers did not wait, grabbing him 55 spots ahead at Round 5, Pick 7. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.
The Pearsall steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick-by-Pick
In No. 6 they get a matchup weapon at tight end. A clean fit for the roster.
A wild overpay on Blake Corum in the 38th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
No edge and no loss on Sedrick Van Pran in the Round 3 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Fair-plus on Braelon Allen, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
They talked themselves into Darius Robinson at pick No. 143, and the board did not agree. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Ty'Ron Hopper at slot 184. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Ricky Pearsall at pick 227 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
