Los Angeles Chargers

The Chargers let Trotter Jr. fall into their laps, and walked away with a A-.

The trade table was a mismatch, and the Chargers were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value.

Trotter Jr. falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Add it up and this is about as clean as a draft weekend gets.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.16 · Pick 16 · Taliese Fuaga · OT · rank 18
In slot 16 they get a blindside protector. A real need, handled.
R2.5 · Pick 37 · Quinyon Mitchell · CB · rank 19
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Quinyon Mitchell in No. 37, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R3.5 · Pick 69 · Bralen Trice · DE-EDGE · rank 69
They paid sticker price for Bralen Trice in Round 3, Pick 5, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R3.14 · Pick 78 · Ja'Lynn Polk · WR · rank 71
A reasonable price with a little left over, Ja'Lynn Polk in the 78th overall pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R3.17 · Pick 81 · Jeremiah Trotter Jr. · LB · rank 59
You do not let a linebacker like Jeremiah Trotter Jr. reach pick 81 and blink. They did not. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R4.6 · Pick 106 · MarShawn Lloyd · RB · rank 105
MarShawn Lloyd in the Round 4 slot is fair value, right on his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R4.24 · Pick 124 · Beaux Limmer · C · rank 124
No edge and no loss on Beaux Limmer in the 124th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
R5.3 · Pick 139 · Fabien Lovett · DL · rank 145
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Fabien Lovett. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R5.15 · Pick 151 · Jaylin Simpson · CB · rank 135
Jaylin Simpson is a better player than Round 5, Pick 15 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R6.8 · Pick 183 · Luke McCaffrey · WR · rank 165
Luke McCaffrey in slot 183 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R7.3 · Pick 223 · Daijun Edwards · RB · rank 205
Daijun Edwards at pick 223 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R7.36 · Pick 256 · Eyabi Okie-Anoma · DL-EDGE · rank 265
The board had cheaper options than Eyabi Okie-Anoma at pick No. 256, and it noticed. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
