The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Chargers watched Darius Robinson slide 32 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.
A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want. The Chargers paired the rookies with proven help, Josh Downs leading the way.
Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 15th pick they get a bendy edge with upside at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Somehow Darius Robinson was still sitting there in the Round 3 slot, and they pounced on premier edge rusher value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
No edge and no loss on Braelon Allen in pick No. 106; it is a wash and a sensible one. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
James Williams in pick 139 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Kamal Hadden is a better player than Round 6, Pick 8 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Nathan Thomas at slot 223 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. The roster fit checks out.
