Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Chargers spent the 223rd pick on Isaac Guerendo, a name most had 52 spots down the list. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.
That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Getting Henderson where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.
A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick No. 5 they get a moveable chess piece at tight end at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
They let Troy Franklin come to them and pounced at the 37th overall pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
A wild overpay on Khyree Jackson in pick 69, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Zak Zinter at slot 106 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Sincere Haynesworth at the Round 5 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
LaDarius Henderson at No. 183 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
A real head-scratcher, Isaac Guerendo in No. 223 is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Value said wait; DeMonte Capehart in slot 256 says they were not listening. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
