There is reaching, and then there is Beau Stephens at pick 123. The Chargers jumped the board by 29 and dared it to prove them wrong. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.
They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Landing Haulcy that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick 22 they get a blindside protector at fair value.
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing A.J. Haulcy in the 62nd pick. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Jacob Rodriguez slipping to the Round 3 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Beau Stephens well ahead of where he belonged. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Good price on Toriano Pride Jr. in slot 204, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
