Los Angeles Chargers

The Chargers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Mycah Pittman at pick 223 is 130 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

The DeJean steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.11 · Pick 11 · Amarius Mims · OT · rank 22
In the Round 1 slot they get an anchor for the offensive line, reach and all. A real need, handled.
R2.5 · Pick 37 · Cooper DeJean · CB · rank 13
Cooper DeJean at pick No. 37 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R3.5 · Pick 69 · Roman Wilson · WR · rank 82
They paid a round early for Roman Wilson in No. 69, more than the board wanted. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R3.10 · Pick 74 · Blake Corum · RB · rank 73
Blake Corum in slot 74 is fair value, right on his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R3.33 · Pick 96 · Tykee Smith · S · rank 97
Tykee Smith at the 96th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R4.6 · Pick 106 · Drake Nugent · C · rank 148
Drake Nugent in Round 4, Pick 6 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R4.9 · Pick 109 · Joe Milton III · QB · rank 164
Joe Milton III at the Round 4 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R5.3 · Pick 139 · Jaylen Harrell · DE-EDGE · rank 201
They talked themselves into Jaylen Harrell at the 139th pick, and the board did not agree. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R5.6 · Pick 142 · Michael Barrett · LB · rank 184
Michael Barrett in No. 142 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R5.16 · Pick 152 · Braiden McGregor · DE-EDGE · rank 203
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Braiden McGregor. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R6.8 · Pick 183 · AJ Barner · TE · rank 193
They liked AJ Barner enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 6, Pick 8. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R7.3 · Pick 223 · Mycah Pittman · WR · rank 353
Mycah Pittman at slot 223 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
