Los Angeles Chargers

The Chargers bled value on every deal, hence the C.

The Chargers clearly saw something nobody else did in Kalen King, taking him 36 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. The Bills pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

It grades out a shrug today, with plenty of room to move either way.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.7 · Pick 7 · Olumuyiwa Fashanu · OT · rank 8
In the Round 1 slot they get protection for the quarterback at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.5 · Pick 37 · Brian Thomas Jr. · WR · rank 23
A quiet steal in Round 2, Pick 5: Brian Thomas Jr. for less than the market said. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R2.6 · Pick 38 · Junior Colson · LB · rank 50
A reach on Junior Colson in pick 38; the board had better options right there. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R3.5 · Pick 69 · Sedrick Van Pran · C · rank 77
They liked Sedrick Van Pran enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 69. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R3.22 · Pick 85 · Bucky Irving · RB · rank 93
Bucky Irving at pick No. 85 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A need, and now a little less of one.
R4.4 · Pick 104 · Kalen King · CB · rank 140
Kalen King at the 104th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R4.23 · Pick 123 · Mekhi Wingo · DT · rank 113
Mekhi Wingo slid further than he should have, and Round 4, Pick 23 is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R5.3 · Pick 139 · Christian Jones · OT · rank 137
No drama and no debate, Christian Jones went about where he belonged in the Round 5 slot. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R6.5 · Pick 180 · Jared Wiley · TE · rank 200
Value said wait; Jared Wiley in No. 180 says they were not listening. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R7.5 · Pick 225 · Javontae Jean-Baptiste · DE-EDGE · rank 229
No edge and no loss on Javontae Jean-Baptiste in the 225th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R7.7 · Pick 227 · Frank Gore Jr. · RB · rank 224
Frank Gore Jr. in pick 227 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R7.33 · Pick 253 · Keaton Bills · OG · rank 233
Keaton Bills at the 253rd overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
