The Chargers did not so much draft Ben Sinnott as overpay for him, 45 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. More right than wrong, and a B+ to match.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. Getting Rosemy-Jacksaint where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want. The Richie Grant deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.8 · Pick 8 · Rome Odunze · WR · rank 9
In the 8th overall pick they get a matchup problem out wide. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.5 · Pick 37 · Kris Jenkins · DL-EDGE · rank 47
The board had cheaper options than Kris Jenkins at the Round 2 slot, and it noticed. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R2.18 · Pick 50 · Christian Haynes · OG · rank 62
A conviction pick on Christian Haynes at the 50th pick that the board grades a round light. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R2.24 · Pick 56 · Cooper Beebe · OG · rank 76
They reached into another round for Cooper Beebe, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It fills a real need, too.
R3.5 · Pick 69 · Kamren Kinchens · S · rank 73
By-the-book stuff, Kamren Kinchens at No. 69 squarely in line with his ranking. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R3.24 · Pick 87 · Ben Sinnott · TE · rank 132
A real head-scratcher, Ben Sinnott in pick No. 87 is miles ahead of his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
R3.34 · Pick 97 · Braelon Allen · RB · rank 109
They paid a round early for Braelon Allen in Round 3, Pick 34, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R4.7 · Pick 107 · Zak Zinter · OG · rank 104
Zak Zinter in the 107th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R5.3 · Pick 139 · Mason McCormick · OT · rank 159
This one needs a full-page explanation: Mason McCormick in No. 139, miles early. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R5.24 · Pick 160 · AJ Barner · TE · rank 161
AJ Barner in pick No. 160 is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R6.1 · Pick 176 · Luke McCaffrey · WR · rank 165
A slide stopped in the Round 6 slot, with Luke McCaffrey worth more than the price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R6.5 · Pick 180 · Joe Milton III · QB · rank 199
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Joe Milton III well ahead of where he belonged. The roster fit checks out.
R7.5 · Pick 225 · Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint · WR · rank 198
They will replay Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint at the 225th pick for years; that is how good the value is. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R7.33 · Pick 253 · Jalen Coker · WR · rank 259
Jalen Coker in pick 253 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
