Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Chargers were there to profit. Cornelius Johnson, the No. 188 name on the board, should have been long gone before Round 7, Pick 5. A near-flawless weekend of work, and a A- to cap it.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. If Guerendo pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

For all the activity, tight end went untouched, which is hard to explain.

A strong weekend's work, and a rare one to find this little fault with.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.16 · Pick 16 · JC Latham · OT · rank 15
In the 16th pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front. A real need, handled.
R2.2 · Pick 34 · Jackson Powers-Johnson · C · rank 32
A straight-up fair deal on Jackson Powers-Johnson at No. 34, value and slot in agreement. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R2.5 · Pick 37 · Troy Franklin · WR · rank 33
A clean, defensible pick in slot 37 with a little surplus value in Troy Franklin. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R3.5 · Pick 69 · Ruke Orhorhoro · DT · rank 68
They took Ruke Orhorhoro at par in the 69th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R4.5 · Pick 105 · Zak Zinter · OG · rank 105
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Zak Zinter. A need, and now a little less of one.
R4.10 · Pick 110 · Isaac Guerendo · RB · rank 128
A big swing on Isaac Guerendo at pick 110, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R5.4 · Pick 140 · Jarrian Jones · CB · rank 136
Jarrian Jones in Round 5, Pick 4 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R6.6 · Pick 181 · Marist Liufau · LB · rank 166
The board had Marist Liufau higher than the Round 6 slot, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R6.17 · Pick 192 · Jaylen Harrell · DE-EDGE · rank 208
They paid a round early for Jaylen Harrell in Round 6, Pick 17, more than the board wanted. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R7.5 · Pick 225 · Cornelius Johnson · WR · rank 188
Steal is underselling it; Cornelius Johnson at pick No. 225 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R7.33 · Pick 253 · Sam Hartman · QB · rank 258
Sam Hartman at slot 253 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
