The Chargers clearly saw something nobody else did in Chad Lindberg, taking him 31 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. However the rest shakes out, Williams at that price is a win they earned.

Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.6 · Pick 6 · Brock Bowers · TE · rank 6
In pick No. 6 they get a seam-stretching tight end. A real need, handled.
R1.11 · Pick 11 · Jer'Zhan Newton · DL · rank 12
In Round 1, Pick 11 they get a run-stuffing presence up front at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R1.20 · Pick 20 · Jared Verse · DE-EDGE · rank 15
In the 20th overall pick they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.3 · Pick 35 · Bo Nix · QB · rank 24
Value with a capital V on Bo Nix in slot 35, a genuine coup. It fills a real need, too.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · Chop Robinson · DE-EDGE · rank 37
They paid sticker price for Chop Robinson in No. 36, and that is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R2.5 · Pick 37 · Emeka Egbuka · WR · rank 32
Emeka Egbuka at the 37th pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R2.15 · Pick 47 · Tyler Guyton · OT · rank 50
By-the-book stuff, Tyler Guyton at the 47th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R3.2 · Pick 66 · Mekhi Wingo · DT · rank 76
Mekhi Wingo at pick 66 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R3.5 · Pick 69 · Jonathon Brooks · RB · rank 75
No drama and no debate, Jonathon Brooks went about where he belonged in Round 3, Pick 5. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R3.13 · Pick 77 · Blake Corum · RB · rank 78
No edge and no loss on Blake Corum in No. 77; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
R3.22 · Pick 85 · Christian Mahogany · OG · rank 87
Christian Mahogany at the 85th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R4.5 · Pick 105 · Max Melton · CB · rank 114
They paid up for Max Melton at pick No. 105 when waiting would have done the job. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R5.6 · Pick 142 · James Williams · S · rank 129
James Williams slid further than he should have, and the Round 5 slot is lovely value for the safety. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R6.8 · Pick 183 · AJ Barner · TE · rank 185
They took AJ Barner at par in slot 183, which is nothing to complain about. The roster fit checks out.
R7.6 · Pick 226 · Chad Lindberg · C · rank 257
This one needs a full-page explanation: Chad Lindberg in the Round 7 slot, miles early. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
