FutureA+
Quarterback settled, Daniels in the fold, and a D+ for the Chargers. 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 J.J. Weaver in pick 253. A D+ that will need time and luck to look better.
They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. Whatever Jayden Daniels becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer.
A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want. However the rest shakes out, Coleman at that price is a win they earned.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In pick 1 they get a true top target. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick5
Rnd1
Jayden Daniels
In the 5th overall pick they get a franchise quarterback at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick10
Rnd1
Laiatu Latu
In No. 10 they get a bendy edge with upside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick38
Rnd2
Chris Braswell
A straight-up fair deal on Chris Braswell at Round 2, Pick 6, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick69
Rnd3
Jaylen Wright
Jaylen Wright at the 69th pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The roster fit checks out.
Pick72
Rnd3
Keon Coleman
They robbed the room for Keon Coleman here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick75
Rnd3
Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie slid further than he should have, and slot 75 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick104
Rnd4
Malik Washington
Malik Washington at Round 4, Pick 4 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick109
Rnd4
Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo at pick 109 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick110
Rnd4
Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg in the 110th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick121
Rnd4
McKinnley Jackson
McKinnley Jackson in No. 121 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick139
Rnd5
Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson at pick No. 139 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick180
Rnd6
Khristian Boyd
Khristian Boyd at the 180th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick225
Rnd7
Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett in the Round 7 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick253
Rnd7
J.J. Weaver
J.J. Weaver at slot 253 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
