Los Angeles Chargers

A costly weekend of dealing drags the Chargers to a C.

Nobody had LaDarius Henderson this high, and it is not close. The Chargers reached 54 spots to get him at pick No. 109.

On value alone, Bullard makes the weekend a net positive. They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman.

A perfectly average weekend, for better and for worse.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.11 · Pick 11 · Brock Bowers · TE · rank 6
In No. 11 they get a mismatch in the passing game at fair value. A real need, handled.
R2.5 · Pick 37 · Sedrick Van Pran · C · rank 90
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Sedrick Van Pran. A need, and now a little less of one.
R3.5 · Pick 69 · Roman Wilson · WR · rank 82
They went early on Roman Wilson in pick 69, and the value did not follow. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R3.10 · Pick 74 · Jeremiah Trotter Jr. · LB · rank 59
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. is a better player than Round 3, Pick 10 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R3.33 · Pick 96 · Javon Bullard · S · rank 64
Javon Bullard in slot 96 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R4.6 · Pick 106 · Mike Sainristil · CB · rank 81
Steal is underselling it; Mike Sainristil at the 106th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R4.9 · Pick 109 · LaDarius Henderson · OT · rank 163
They left a pile of value on the table to take LaDarius Henderson this early at slot 109. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R5.3 · Pick 139 · Frank Gore Jr. · RB · rank 171
Frank Gore Jr. at pick No. 139 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R5.6 · Pick 142 · Zion Tupuola-Fetui · DE-EDGE · rank 169
Zion Tupuola-Fetui in the 142nd pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R5.16 · Pick 152 · Michael Barrett · LB · rank 184
Michael Barrett at the 152nd overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
R6.8 · Pick 183 · Braiden McGregor · DE-EDGE · rank 203
Braiden McGregor in No. 183 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R7.3 · Pick 223 · J.J. Weaver · LB-EDGE · rank 228
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on J.J. Weaver. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
