Los Angeles Chargers

The steal of the weekend belongs to the Chargers and Taylor-Demerson: B.

You could see the war room lean forward. Dadrion Taylor-Demerson at No. 183 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. They are betting Braswell proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Adonai Mitchell · WR · rank 32
In No. 25 they get a home-run threat at receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.5 · Pick 37 · Chris Braswell · LB-EDGE · rank 56
Value said wait; Chris Braswell in the Round 2 slot says they were not listening. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Troy Franklin · WR · rank 26
Troy Franklin slid further than he should have, and slot 41 is lovely value for the wide receiver. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R3.5 · Pick 69 · Trey Benson · RB · rank 69
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Trey Benson. It fills a real need, too.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Spencer Rattler · QB · rank 90
Spencer Rattler at pick 91 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A need, and now a little less of one.
R4.6 · Pick 106 · Khyree Jackson · CB · rank 104
Khyree Jackson in Round 4, Pick 6 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Tyrice Knight · LB · rank 115
Value with a capital V on Tyrice Knight in the 126th pick, a genuine coup. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R5.3 · Pick 139 · Luke McCaffrey · WR · rank 142
They paid sticker price for Luke McCaffrey in the 139th overall pick, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R6.8 · Pick 183 · Dadrion Taylor-Demerson · S · rank 163
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson in slot 183 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R7.3 · Pick 223 · Jordan Magee · LB · rank 208
Jordan Magee at pick 223 is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
R7.36 · Pick 256 · Xavier Thomas · DE-EDGE · rank 267
Xavier Thomas in the 256th overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
