The real work happened on the phones. The Chargers fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with. A near-flawless weekend of work, and a A to cap it.
Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Jordan pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.
Bobby Wagner gives the group a proven body among the projects.
Bottom line, with Cooper DeJean leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.
Pick-by-Pick
In No. 16 they get an island corner. The biggest hole, addressed.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Amarius Mims at slot 37 is the proof. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Chop Robinson at pick 47 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
They took Blake Corum at par in the Round 3 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
A tidy little value on DeWayne Carter in pick No. 105, a step better than break-even. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint in Round 5, Pick 6 is fair value, right on his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Michael Barrett at the 183rd overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
A quiet steal in the 226th pick: Jawhar Jordan for less than the market said. It fills a real need, too.
