If confidence were a draft strategy, the Chargers would have aced it. J.J. Weaver at slot 225 is 92 spots clear of where he belonged. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B+.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Jones. The phones were where this weekend was really won.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.18 · Pick 18 · Quinyon Mitchell · CB · rank 20
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Quinyon Mitchell. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R2.5 · Pick 37 · Roman Wilson · WR · rank 44
Roman Wilson in the 37th pick is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R2.17 · Pick 49 · Sedrick Van Pran · C · rank 74
Sedrick Van Pran at the Round 2 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R3.5 · Pick 69 · DeWayne Carter · DT · rank 103
They reached a country mile for DeWayne Carter at the 69th overall pick, and the board is aghast. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R3.34 · Pick 97 · Xavier Legette · WR · rank 72
Xavier Legette in No. 97 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R4.5 · Pick 105 · MarShawn Lloyd · RB · rank 99
MarShawn Lloyd at slot 105 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R4.10 · Pick 110 · AJ Barner · TE · rank 172
This one needs a full-page explanation: AJ Barner in pick 110, miles early. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R5.4 · Pick 140 · Joe Milton III · QB · rank 200
Value said wait; Joe Milton III in No. 140 says they were not listening. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R6.6 · Pick 181 · Jarrian Jones · CB · rank 137
They robbed the room for Jarrian Jones here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R7.5 · Pick 225 · J.J. Weaver · LB-EDGE · rank 317
They talked themselves into J.J. Weaver at the 225th pick, and the board did not agree. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R7.33 · Pick 253 · LaDarius Henderson · OT · rank 253
They paid sticker price for LaDarius Henderson in the 253rd overall pick, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
