Thirty-one other rooms let Tyler Owens slide, and the Chargers were the ones holding the card at the Round 7 slot. Highway robbery. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.
They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.
In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
Pick-by-Pick
In No. 28 they get a blindside protector at fair value.
They paid sticker price for Ennis Rakestraw Jr. in the 37th pick, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Kris Jenkins at the Round 2 slot is the proof. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Adisa Isaac at pick No. 69 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Jaylen Wright at the 84th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Khyree Jackson in Round 3, Pick 36. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
A straight-up fair deal on Mekhi Wingo at slot 106, value and slot in agreement. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
No edge and no loss on Jacob Cowing in pick 139; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
They took Jordan Jefferson at par in the 183rd overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Good price on Tyrice Knight in No. 223, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Tyler Owens in slot 256 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
