The trade table was a mismatch, and the Chargers were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value. One of the weekend's best, top to bottom, and a A to show for it.
The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Wiggins steal is the beam this whole class leans on. Adding Mark Andrews by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.
Bottom line, with Nate Wiggins leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 32nd overall pick they get a ballhawk on the outside, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
A slide stopped in slot 37, with Amarius Mims worth more than the price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
They read the board right and Jackson Powers-Johnson was the payoff at Round 2, Pick 32. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Ja'Tavion Sanders slipping to pick 69 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The roster fit checks out.
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Mike Sainristil at pick No. 95. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Jacob Cowing in the 105th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
A tidy bit of business in No. 142, where Tommy Eichenberg graded well above the range. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Kitan Oladapo at the Round 6 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Isaiah Neyor at the 226th pick is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
