The David Ugwoegbu pick is the one that will follow the Chargers into the fall. They took him 78 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Rice steal is the beam this whole class leans on. Job largely done: interior defensive lineman settled and 7 of 8 of the wish list covered.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.5 · Pick 5 · Malik Nabers · WR · rank 4
In slot 5 they get a matchup problem out wide. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.5 · Pick 37 · Cooper DeJean · CB · rank 26
Nice patience on Cooper DeJean, who had no business lasting to Round 2, Pick 5. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R3.30 · Pick 93 · MarShawn Lloyd · RB · rank 97
A straight-up fair deal on MarShawn Lloyd at pick 93, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R4.5 · Pick 105 · Khyree Jackson · CB · rank 95
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Khyree Jackson in the 105th overall pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R4.10 · Pick 110 · Brenden Rice · WR · rank 96
Value with a capital V on Brenden Rice in No. 110, a genuine coup. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R4.13 · Pick 113 · Blake Fisher · OT · rank 118
Blake Fisher in the Round 4 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R4.18 · Pick 118 · Ben Sinnott · TE · rank 129
Ben Sinnott at No. 118 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The roster fit checks out.
R5.4 · Pick 140 · Jordan Jefferson · DT · rank 183
A big swing on Jordan Jefferson at the Round 5 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R5.28 · Pick 164 · Delmar Glaze · C · rank 192
They left a pile of value on the table to take Delmar Glaze this early at pick No. 164. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R6.6 · Pick 181 · Nathaniel Watson · LB · rank 212
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Nathaniel Watson. A minor itch, scratched.
R6.17 · Pick 192 · Joe Milton III · QB · rank 200
They jumped the gun on Joe Milton III, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R7.5 · Pick 225 · Evan Williams · S · rank 214
They let Evan Williams come to them and pounced at Round 7, Pick 5. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R7.33 · Pick 253 · David Ugwoegbu · OLB-EDGE · rank 331
David Ugwoegbu at the 253rd pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Not a spot anyone had flagged, which makes it a head-scratcher.
