Whoever sat across the table from the Chargers should ask for a receipt. They cleaned the room out, prying loose far more value than they gave up, and it was the quiet MVP of their weekend.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. Julian Blackmon gives the group a proven body among the projects. However the rest shakes out, Hall Jr. at that price is a win they earned.

Trust the process, because this time the process plainly worked.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.15 · Pick 15 · Dallas Turner · LB-EDGE · rank 14
In pick 15 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R1.28 · Pick 28 · Xavier Legette · WR · rank 29
In Round 1, Pick 28 they get a home-run threat at receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.5 · Pick 37 · Graham Barton · OT · rank 32
Graham Barton in the 37th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R3.18 · Pick 82 · Junior Colson · LB · rank 76
A reasonable price with a little left over, Junior Colson in the 82nd overall pick. A minor itch, scratched.
R4.5 · Pick 105 · Michael Hall Jr. · DT · rank 89
A slide stopped in No. 105, with Michael Hall Jr. worth more than the price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R4.9 · Pick 109 · Tykee Smith · S · rank 97
They let Tykee Smith come to them and pounced at slot 109. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R5.3 · Pick 139 · Kamal Hadden · CB · rank 134
Good price on Kamal Hadden in pick No. 139, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R6.8 · Pick 183 · Isaiah Davis · RB · rank 179
Isaiah Davis at the Round 6 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
