The Mycah Pittman pick is the one that will follow the Chargers into the fall. They took him 189 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. A weekend that fought the value and lost, hence the D-.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. The Wilson value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.5 · Pick 5 · Brock Bowers · TE · rank 6
In pick No. 5 they get a matchup weapon at tight end. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.5 · Pick 37 · Jackson Powers-Johnson · C · rank 51
Jackson Powers-Johnson at the Round 2 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A need, and now a little less of one.
R3.5 · Pick 69 · Javon Bullard · S · rank 63
Javon Bullard in the 69th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. A minor itch, scratched.
R3.34 · Pick 97 · Roman Wilson · WR · rank 79
Roman Wilson at pick 97 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R3.37 · Pick 100 · Blake Fisher · OT · rank 99
No drama and no debate, Blake Fisher went about where he belonged in the 100th overall pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R4.6 · Pick 106 · Leonard Taylor III · DL · rank 113
Leonard Taylor III at Round 4, Pick 6 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R5.3 · Pick 139 · Cam Hart · CB · rank 139
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Cam Hart. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R5.14 · Pick 150 · Joe Milton III · QB · rank 171
They talked themselves into Joe Milton III at pick No. 150, and the board did not agree. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R5.18 · Pick 154 · Frank Gore Jr. · RB · rank 177
Frank Gore Jr. in pick 154 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R5.34 · Pick 170 · Michael Barrett · LB · rank 189
This one needs a full-page explanation: Michael Barrett in the Round 5 slot, miles early. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R6.8 · Pick 183 · Jaylen Harrell · DE-EDGE · rank 213
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jaylen Harrell well ahead of where he belonged. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R6.14 · Pick 189 · J.J. Weaver · LB-EDGE · rank 254
J.J. Weaver at Round 6, Pick 14 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R6.43 · Pick 218 · Josh Wallace · CB · rank 227
Josh Wallace in the 218th pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R7.3 · Pick 223 · Mycah Pittman · WR · rank 412
Value said wait; Mycah Pittman in slot 223 says they were not listening. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R7.12 · Pick 232 · Jase McClellan · RB · rank 237
A straight-up fair deal on Jase McClellan at pick 232, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R7.36 · Pick 256 · Trevor Keegan · OG · rank 261
They took Trevor Keegan at par in the 256th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
