FutureB-
The Chargers turned the phones into found money: B+. You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Chargers did exactly that with Delmar Glaze in No. 140. The bottom line is a respectable B+.
The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The Cooper value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The Chargers paired the rookies with proven help, Kaden Elliss leading the way.
Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 8 of 8 of the wish list covered.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick Analysis
Pick13
Rnd1
JC Latham
In Round 1, Pick 13 they get a building block for the line. A real need, handled.
Pick37
Rnd2
Ladd McConkey
They did well to land Ladd McConkey in No. 37, just ahead of his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick69
Rnd3
Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper at the 69th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick77
Rnd3
Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at the Round 3 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick105
Rnd4
Maason Smith
No edge and no loss on Maason Smith in pick 105; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick106
Rnd4
Isaac Guerendo
Value said wait; Isaac Guerendo in the 106th overall pick says they were not listening. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick109
Rnd4
Cam Hart
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Cam Hart at the 109th pick is the proof. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick110
Rnd4
Ben Sinnott
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Ben Sinnott. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick140
Rnd5
Delmar Glaze
They reached a country mile for Delmar Glaze at pick 140, and the board is aghast. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick181
Rnd6
Javontae Jean-Baptiste
Javontae Jean-Baptiste at the 181st overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick182
Rnd6
Joe Milton III
They went early on Joe Milton III in the Round 6 slot, and the value did not follow. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick221
Rnd7
Nathaniel Watson
A slide stopped in No. 221, with Nathaniel Watson worth more than the price. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick225
Rnd7
Garret Greenfield
Value with a capital V on Garret Greenfield in pick No. 225, a genuine coup. The roster fit checks out.
Pick253
Rnd7
Jalen Coker
Jalen Coker at slot 253 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
