FutureA
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Chargers a A-. Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Justin Eboigbe at slot 227 is 46 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline.
The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 7 of 8 of the wish list covered. Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work.
Bottom line, they did the job about as well as it can be done.
Pick Analysis
Pick27
Rnd1
Amarius Mims
In pick 27 they get a blindside protector. A real need, handled.
Pick38
Rnd2
T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat at pick No. 38 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick45
Rnd2
T.J. Tampa
T.J. Tampa in the 45th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick70
Rnd3
TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson at Round 3, Pick 6 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick91
Rnd3
Roman Wilson
Roman Wilson at No. 91 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick97
Rnd3
Cam Hart
No drama and no debate, Cam Hart went about where he belonged in the Round 3 slot. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick106
Rnd4
Tate Ratledge
A premium they did not need to pay, Tate Ratledge a notch or two before his time. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick137
Rnd5
Ben Sinnott
A big swing on Ben Sinnott at the 137th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick143
Rnd5
Cody Schrader
Cody Schrader at No. 143 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick184
Rnd6
Keith Randolph Jr.
A conviction pick on Keith Randolph Jr. at slot 184 that the board grades a round light. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick227
Rnd7
Justin Eboigbe
They reached a country mile for Justin Eboigbe at the Round 7 slot, and the board is aghast. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
