Call it larceny. Jalen McMillan sat on the board until slot 105, and the Chargers did not need to be asked twice.
Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Every board in the league had Booker lower, and that gap is the story.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
Pick-by-Pick
They took Joe Alt at par in the Round 1 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Taking Kool-Aid McKinstry in the 37th pick is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
No drama and no debate, Blake Corum went about where he belonged in pick 69. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
They robbed the room for Jalen McMillan here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
They paid a round early for Austin Booker in No. 142, more than the board wanted. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
