The rest of the league will want that one back. DJ Campbell tumbling to the Chargers in No. 204 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They are betting Jackson Jr. proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They left with interior defensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.22 · Pick 22 · Olaivavega Ioane · OG · rank 22
In pick 22 they get a cornerstone up front. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.23 · Pick 55 · A.J. Haulcy · S · rank 50
They did well to land A.J. Haulcy in slot 55, just ahead of his grade. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R3.22 · Pick 86 · Darrell Jackson Jr. · DT · rank 102
A reach for Darrell Jackson Jr. in the 86th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R4.23 · Pick 123 · DeMonte Capehart · DT · rank 138
They went early on DeMonte Capehart in Round 4, Pick 23, and the value did not follow. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R6.23 · Pick 204 · DJ Campbell · OG · rank 184
They robbed the room for DJ Campbell here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It fills a real need, too.
