The Chargers spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Taliese Fuaga, the No. 16 name on the board, in pick 37. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.
The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Reaching for Limmer left real value on the table behind him.
They gave back a little on the phones for the right to move.
Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick 11 they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
They barely believed it either: Taliese Fuaga still on the board at Round 2, Pick 5. A need, and now a little less of one.
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ruke Orhorhoro. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Fair-plus on Cam Hart, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
No drama and no debate, Ray Davis went about where he belonged in No. 108. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Beaux Limmer at the Round 4 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Elijah Jones at the 129th pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Nice patience on Jamari Thrash, who had no business lasting to the 140th overall pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Dwight McGlothern at slot 181 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
JD Bertrand in Round 7, Pick 5 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Jalen Coker in the Round 7 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
