The Chargers went off the board in a big way for MJ Sherman, 73 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. The bottom line is a respectable B.

They have staked the next five years on Jayden Daniels, which is the only story that really matters here. That Mitchell pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.11 · Pick 11 · Jayden Daniels · QB · rank 8
In Round 1, Pick 11 they get a passer to set the clock by. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.5 · Pick 37 · Terrion Arnold · CB · rank 20
Nice patience on Terrion Arnold, who had no business lasting to the 37th pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R3.5 · Pick 69 · Quinyon Mitchell · CB · rank 31
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Quinyon Mitchell in pick No. 69, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R4.6 · Pick 106 · Javon Foster · OT · rank 128
A wild overpay on Javon Foster in the 106th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R4.9 · Pick 109 · Roman Wilson · WR · rank 80
Roman Wilson at slot 109 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R5.3 · Pick 139 · Sincere Haynesworth · C · rank 160
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Sincere Haynesworth well ahead of where he belonged. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R6.18 · Pick 193 · Trey Knox · TE · rank 186
A reasonable price with a little left over, Trey Knox in slot 193. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R7.3 · Pick 223 · Jalen Berger · RB · rank 212
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jalen Berger at pick 223. A need, and now a little less of one.
R7.11 · Pick 231 · MJ Sherman · OLB-EDGE · rank 304
MJ Sherman at No. 231 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Hard to map this one onto the depth chart at all.
R7.12 · Pick 232 · DeMonte Capehart · DT · rank 288
They left a pile of value on the table to take DeMonte Capehart this early at pick No. 232. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R7.36 · Pick 256 · Isaac Guerendo · RB · rank 257
They paid sticker price for Isaac Guerendo in the Round 7 slot, and that is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
