muddy DRAFTING FOR THEChargers

FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Chargers: B. The Chargers looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Keith Randolph Jr. at pick 143 regardless, 51 picks early. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.
A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want. However the rest shakes out, Pearsall at that price is a win they earned.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick17
Rnd1
Chop Robinson
In pick No. 17 they get a double-digit-sack hope. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick36
Rnd2
Terrion Arnold
Terrion Arnold in the 36th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick38
Rnd2
Kalen King
Kalen King in Round 2, Pick 6 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick70
Rnd3
Brian Thomas Jr.
Circle this one: Brian Thomas Jr. at the Round 3 slot is a fall that decides a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick71
Rnd3
Sedrick Van Pran
No drama and no debate, Sedrick Van Pran went about where he belonged in No. 71. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick81
Rnd3
TreVeyon Henderson
A straight-up fair deal on TreVeyon Henderson at the 81st pick, value and slot in agreement. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick106
Rnd4
Roman Wilson
Roman Wilson in the Round 4 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick143
Rnd5
Keith Randolph Jr.
A big swing on Keith Randolph Jr. at the 143rd overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick184
Rnd6
Darius Robinson
They paid up for Darius Robinson at pick No. 184 when waiting would have done the job. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick225
Rnd7
Ricky Pearsall
They will replay Ricky Pearsall at slot 225 for years; that is how good the value is. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick227
Rnd7
Sam Hartman
Sam Hartman at Round 7, Pick 7 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It fills a real need, too.
