Los Angeles Chargers

The phones sank the Chargers this weekend: C.

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Chargers, and the value they bled adds up to real damage.

That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Neyor pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

It grades out a shrug today, with plenty of room to move either way.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.5 · Pick 5 · Brock Bowers · TE · rank 6
No drama and no debate, Brock Bowers went about where he belonged in No. 5. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R2.5 · Pick 37 · Troy Fautanu · OT · rank 30
Troy Fautanu in the 37th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R3.8 · Pick 72 · Caelen Carson · CB · rank 67
Caelen Carson at the Round 3 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R3.11 · Pick 75 · Blake Corum · RB · rank 74
By-the-book stuff, Blake Corum at slot 75 squarely in line with his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R5.6 · Pick 142 · Keith Randolph Jr. · DL-EDGE · rank 150
A premium they did not need to pay, Keith Randolph Jr. a notch or two before his time. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R6.8 · Pick 183 · Curtis Jacobs · LB · rank 175
A tidy bit of business in the 183rd overall pick, where Curtis Jacobs graded well above the range. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R7.6 · Pick 226 · Isaiah Neyor · WR · rank 210
Isaiah Neyor in pick No. 226 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
