FutureA
Nobody dealt better than the Chargers this weekend: A-. Nobody else had Trey Knox anywhere near the Round 4 slot. The Chargers did, by 58 spots, and that gap is the whole story. One of the weekend's best, top to bottom, and a A- to show for it.
Landing Sainristil that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
It is a haul that will look even better come September.
Pick Analysis
Pick14
Rnd1
Rome Odunze
Rome Odunze at the 14th pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick37
Rnd2
Quinyon Mitchell
Good price on Quinyon Mitchell in No. 37, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick42
Rnd2
Tyler Guyton
They took Tyler Guyton at par in Round 2, Pick 10, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick80
Rnd3
Sedrick Van Pran
Sedrick Van Pran in pick 80 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick116
Rnd4
Mike Sainristil
Taking Mike Sainristil in slot 116 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick130
Rnd4
Trey Knox
Trey Knox in pick No. 130 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick135
Rnd4
Braelon Allen
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Braelon Allen well ahead of where he belonged. It fills a real need, too.
Pick139
Rnd5
Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett in pick No. 139 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick148
Rnd5
Justin Rogers
They left a pile of value on the table to take Justin Rogers this early at pick 148. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick149
Rnd5
Cam Hart
Cam Hart slid further than he should have, and the Round 5 slot is lovely value for the cornerback. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick183
Rnd6
AJ Barner
A big swing on AJ Barner at Round 6, Pick 8, well ahead of any board in the building. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick208
Rnd6
Jaylen Harrell
By-the-book stuff, Jaylen Harrell at the 208th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick223
Rnd7
David Ugwoegbu
David Ugwoegbu at No. 223 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Not a spot anyone had flagged, which makes it a head-scratcher.
Pick227
Rnd7
Stefon Thompson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Stefon Thompson. The roster reasoning here is anyone's guess.
Pick256
Rnd7
Zion Logue
They liked Zion Logue enough to skip the value, taking him in the 256th pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
