The rest of the league had time to spare on Dominic Zvada; the Chargers did not wait, grabbing him 65 spots ahead at the 239th overall pick.
The Anderson value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick 22 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. A real need, handled.
A quiet steal in No. 59: A.J. Haulcy for less than the market said. A minor itch, scratched.
A top-tier edge rusher at a bargain, Jake Golday in pick No. 89, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Treydan Stukes is a better player than Round 4, Pick 6 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Beau Stephens well ahead of where he belonged. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
No drama and no debate, Kaleb Proctor went about where he belonged in the 167th pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
You do not let a wide receiver like Aaron Anderson reach the 204th overall pick and blink. They did not. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Dominic Zvada at pick No. 239 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
