Future A-

Junior Colson in slot 69 is a quiet win that props up the whole weekend for the Chargers. They moved the roster forward and banked a B+ for it.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. They are betting Corum proves the room right and everyone else wrong. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.7 · Pick 7 · Rome Odunze · WR · rank 9
In the Round 1 slot they get a difference-maker at receiver at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.5 · Pick 37 · Tyler Guyton · OT · rank 28
Tyler Guyton slipping to the 37th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R3.5 · Pick 69 · Junior Colson · LB · rank 52
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Junior Colson at pick 69 is the proof. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R3.6 · Pick 70 · Blake Corum · RB · rank 84
Blake Corum in slot 70 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R4.5 · Pick 105 · Jonah Elliss · DE-EDGE · rank 88
A quiet steal in pick No. 105: Jonah Elliss for less than the market said. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R4.6 · Pick 106 · Brenden Rice · WR · rank 96
Brenden Rice at the 106th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R4.8 · Pick 108 · Khyree Jackson · CB · rank 95
Khyree Jackson slid further than he should have, and the 108th pick is lovely value for the cornerback. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R4.10 · Pick 110 · Maason Smith · DT · rank 111
No drama and no debate, Maason Smith went about where he belonged in slot 110. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R5.4 · Pick 140 · Jarrian Jones · CB · rank 136
Jarrian Jones in pick 140 lands just on the right side of the ledger. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R6.6 · Pick 181 · Braiden McGregor · DE-EDGE · rank 173
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Braiden McGregor in the 181st overall pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R7.5 · Pick 225 · JD Bertrand · LB · rank 220
A tidy little value on JD Bertrand in the Round 7 slot, a step better than break-even. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
R7.33 · Pick 253 · LaDarius Henderson · OT · rank 252
By-the-book stuff, LaDarius Henderson at No. 253 squarely in line with his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
