Thirty-one other rooms let Anthony Gould slide, and the Chargers were the ones holding the card at the 225th overall pick. Highway robbery. A mixed bag that lands at C.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

Bottom line, the swing picks will decide whether this ages well.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.23 · Pick 23 · Brock Bowers · TE · rank 5
They will replay Brock Bowers at pick No. 23 for years; that is how good the value is. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R2.5 · Pick 37 · Troy Franklin · WR · rank 33
Good price on Troy Franklin in the 37th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R2.10 · Pick 42 · T'Vondre Sweat · DT · rank 45
T'Vondre Sweat at No. 42 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R3.5 · Pick 69 · DJ James · CB · rank 53
DJ James slipping to pick 69 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R3.23 · Pick 86 · Kiran Amegadjie · OT · rank 66
Kiran Amegadjie at the 86th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It fills a real need, too.
R4.5 · Pick 105 · Bucky Irving · RB · rank 91
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Bucky Irving in Round 4, Pick 5. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R4.10 · Pick 110 · Kris Abrams-Draine · CB · rank 81
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Kris Abrams-Draine in slot 110, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R5.4 · Pick 140 · Renardo Green · S · rank 77
A safety of that caliber at the Round 5 slot is the definition of value, full stop. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R5.18 · Pick 154 · James Williams · LB · rank 124
They robbed the room for James Williams here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R6.6 · Pick 181 · Javon Foster · OT · rank 119
Javon Foster at No. 181 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A need, and now a little less of one.
R7.5 · Pick 225 · Anthony Gould · WR · rank 142
Anthony Gould in slot 225 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R7.10 · Pick 230 · Kendall Milton · RB · rank 201
The board fumbled Kendall Milton all the way to the 230th overall pick, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R7.12 · Pick 232 · Johnny Dixon · CB · rank 191
Johnny Dixon in the 232nd pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R7.27 · Pick 247 · Caedan Wallace · OT · rank 212
Taking Caedan Wallace in Round 7, Pick 27 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R7.33 · Pick 253 · Nathaniel Watson · LB · rank 213
Nathaniel Watson in pick No. 253 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
