The Chargers cashed the board's mistake on Hancock: A. Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Jordan Hancock got past him. The Chargers do not have to explain a thing at Round 7, Pick 6.
The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.
Bottom line, with Travis Hunter leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.
Pick Analysis
Pick27
Rnd1
Travis Hunter
In slot 27 they get a lockdown presence outside, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick29
Rnd1
Jack Sawyer
In Round 1, Pick 29 they get a disruptor off the edge, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick83
Rnd3
Walter Nolen
Walter Nolen in pick 83 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick118
Rnd4
Ashton Jeanty
Ashton Jeanty at the 118th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick121
Rnd4
Tre Harris
Somehow Tre Harris was still sitting there in No. 121, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick129
Rnd4
Bear Alexander
Bear Alexander at the 129th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick130
Rnd4
Wyatt Milum
Wyatt Milum at pick No. 130 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick153
Rnd5
Cam Ward
Steal is underselling it; Cam Ward at the Round 5 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick162
Rnd5
Deontae Lawson
Deontae Lawson in pick 162 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick164
Rnd5
Dylan Fairchild
They robbed the room for Dylan Fairchild here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick175
Rnd5
Jake Briningstool
They will replay Jake Briningstool at slot 175 for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick180
Rnd6
Xavier Restrepo
Taking Xavier Restrepo in pick No. 180 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick213
Rnd6
Jahdae Barron
The board fumbled Jahdae Barron all the way to the 213th overall pick, and they scooped it up. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick220
Rnd7
Jordan Hancock
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Jordan Hancock in Round 7, Pick 6, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick240
Rnd7
Devin Neal
They barely believed it either: Devin Neal still on the board at the 240th pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick243
Rnd7
TJ Ferguson
A offensive lineman of that caliber at No. 243 is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick250
Rnd7
Julian Fleming
Circle this one: Julian Fleming at pick 250 is a fall that decides a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
