The Chargers spent real capital to be 128 picks early on Mycah Pittman, and the board is going to hold them to it. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.
The Allen pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.
Pick-by-Pick
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Laiatu Latu. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
They reached into another round for Jeremiah Trotter Jr., and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
They went early on Roman Wilson in pick 69, and the value did not follow. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
They talked themselves into Drake Nugent at Round 4, Pick 5, and the board did not agree. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
A big swing on LaDarius Henderson at No. 142, well ahead of any board in the building. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Steal is underselling it; Braelon Allen at the 183rd overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The roster fit checks out.
Mycah Pittman at slot 226 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
