Los Angeles Chargers

The Chargers lost the trade table, and the B- tells the story.

The Chargers put a flag in the ground for Jermayne Lole, 80 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. On value alone, Paul makes the weekend a net positive.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.22 · Pick 22 · Quinyon Mitchell · CB · rank 31
In pick 22 they get a press-man option on the boundary, even if it was a touch early. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.5 · Pick 37 · Kris Jenkins · DL-EDGE · rank 44
No edge and no loss on Kris Jenkins in the 37th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R2.18 · Pick 50 · Jermaine Burton · WR · rank 48
Jermaine Burton in the 50th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R3.5 · Pick 69 · Patrick Paul · OT · rank 47
They robbed the room for Patrick Paul here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A need, and now a little less of one.
R4.6 · Pick 106 · Drake Nugent · C · rank 150
This one needs a full-page explanation: Drake Nugent in the Round 4 slot, miles early. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R5.3 · Pick 139 · Braelon Allen · RB · rank 159
Braelon Allen at pick No. 139 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R6.30 · Pick 205 · Austin Stogner · TE · rank 210
They took Austin Stogner at par in Round 6, Pick 30, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · Brevyn Spann-Ford · TE · rank 239
They reached a country mile for Brevyn Spann-Ford at the Round 6 slot, and the board is aghast. The roster fit checks out.
R7.3 · Pick 223 · Marcus Harris · DE-EDGE · rank 256
They talked themselves into Marcus Harris at pick 223, and the board did not agree. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R7.20 · Pick 240 · DeMonte Capehart · DT · rank 298
DeMonte Capehart at pick No. 240 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R7.23 · Pick 243 · Jermayne Lole · DL-EDGE · rank 323
Jermayne Lole in the 243rd overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R7.36 · Pick 256 · Isaac Guerendo · RB · rank 275
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Isaac Guerendo well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
