Grand theft in No. 204: the Chargers steal Prysock and grade out a B.

For all the names on the card, the loudest question went unanswered. The Chargers walked out of the weekend still thin at edge rusher, a hole that has a way of deciding seasons. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

The Prysock pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. Every board in the league had Clark lower, and that gap is the story.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Kayden McDonald
In slot 22 they get a load in the middle. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick55 Rnd2 Emmanuel Pregnon
They let Emmanuel Pregnon come to them and pounced at Round 2, Pick 23. It fills a real need, too.
Pick86 Rnd3 Bud Clark
The board had cheaper options than Bud Clark at pick 86, and it noticed. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick123 Rnd4 Joe Royer
They did well to land Joe Royer in the 123rd overall pick, just ahead of his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick204 Rnd6 Ephesians Prysock
You do not let a cornerback like Ephesians Prysock reach the 204th pick and blink. They did not. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
