The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named interior defensive lineman, a need the Chargers walked right past.

The McKinstry pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. If Murphy pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.19 · Pick 19 · Cooper DeJean · CB · rank 13
Fair-plus on Cooper DeJean, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R2.5 · Pick 37 · Kool-Aid McKinstry · CB · rank 19
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Kool-Aid McKinstry in the 37th pick, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R2.19 · Pick 51 · Jonathon Brooks · RB · rank 62
The board had cheaper options than Jonathon Brooks at No. 51, and it noticed. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R3.5 · Pick 69 · Gabriel Murphy · DL-EDGE · rank 85
Gabriel Murphy at slot 69 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R4.5 · Pick 105 · Blake Fisher · OT · rank 99
A tidy little value on Blake Fisher in pick 105, a step better than break-even. A need, and now a little less of one.
