The rest of the league will want that one back. Sheridan Jones tumbling to the Chargers in the 253rd overall pick is a gift they did not have to think twice about. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B+.

They will need Guerendo to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.

On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with interior defensive lineman the one that mattered most.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.6 · Pick 6 · Rome Odunze · WR · rank 9
They paid sticker price for Rome Odunze in pick No. 6, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R2.10 · Pick 42 · Kamari Lassiter · CB · rank 41
Kamari Lassiter in the Round 2 slot is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R2.15 · Pick 47 · T'Vondre Sweat · DT · rank 44
T'Vondre Sweat in the 47th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R3.5 · Pick 69 · Xavier Worthy · WR · rank 53
Xavier Worthy slipping to pick 69 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R4.5 · Pick 105 · Christian Mahogany · OG · rank 99
A reasonable price with a little left over, Christian Mahogany in the 105th pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R4.10 · Pick 110 · Isaac Guerendo · RB · rank 129
Isaac Guerendo at No. 110 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R5.4 · Pick 140 · Tommy Eichenberg · LB · rank 145
A straight-up fair deal on Tommy Eichenberg at Round 5, Pick 4, value and slot in agreement. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R6.6 · Pick 181 · Marist Liufau · LB · rank 165
Marist Liufau is a better player than slot 181 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
R7.5 · Pick 225 · Nathan Thomas · OT · rank 229
Nathan Thomas at pick No. 225 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R7.33 · Pick 253 · Sheridan Jones · CB · rank 219
Sheridan Jones in the Round 7 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
