FutureC-
The Chargers won the night they stopped Siereveld from sliding. Grade: D. The rest of the league will want that one back. Austin Siereveld tumbling to the Chargers in No. 239 is a gift they did not have to think twice about.
The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake. The Chargers paired the rookies with proven help, Will Anderson Jr. leading the way.
A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.
Pick Analysis
Pick22
Rnd1
Matayo Uiagalelei
Matayo Uiagalelei slid further than he should have, and the 22nd overall pick is lovely value for the edge rusher. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick55
Rnd2
Carter Smith
They barely believed it either: Carter Smith still on the board at No. 55. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick56
Rnd2
Duce Robinson
Duce Robinson at slot 56 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick76
Rnd3
Cayden Green
Cayden Green at the 76th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick84
Rnd3
Jadan Baugh
The board fumbled Jadan Baugh all the way to pick 84, and they scooped it up. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick86
Rnd3
Wyatt Young
They robbed the room for Wyatt Young here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick87
Rnd3
A'Mauri Washington
They will replay A'Mauri Washington at pick No. 87 for years; that is how good the value is. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick95
Rnd3
Jayden Maiava
They paid sticker price for Jayden Maiava in the Round 3 slot, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick100
Rnd3
Dashawn Spears
Dashawn Spears in pick 100 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick111
Rnd4
Brice Pollock
Taking Brice Pollock in No. 111 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick123
Rnd4
Justin Scott
Justin Scott in pick No. 123 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick127
Rnd4
Teitum Tuioti
A top-tier edge rusher at a bargain, Teitum Tuioti in Round 4, Pick 27, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick131
Rnd4
Rasheem Biles
A linebacker of that caliber at the 131st pick is the definition of value, full stop. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick133
Rnd4
Keon Sabb
Steal is underselling it; Keon Sabb at the Round 4 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick138
Rnd4
Nyck Harbor
Circle this one: Nyck Harbor at slot 138 is a fall that decides a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick140
Rnd5
Trevor Goosby
You do not let an offensive lineman like Trevor Goosby reach the 140th overall pick and blink. They did not. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick141
Rnd5
Kade Pieper
Somehow Kade Pieper was still sitting there in the Round 5 slot, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick143
Rnd5
Luke Montgomery
Luke Montgomery in Round 5, Pick 5 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick149
Rnd5
Jamari Johnson
Jamari Johnson at pick 149 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It fills a real need, too.
Pick171
Rnd5
Trevor Lauck
The board fumbled Trevor Lauck all the way to slot 171, and they scooped it up. The roster fit checks out.
Pick175
Rnd5
Walker Lyons
Walker Lyons in No. 175 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick178
Rnd5
Kelley Jones
Kelley Jones at pick No. 178 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick181
Rnd6
Kewan Lacy
They barely believed it either: Kewan Lacy still on the board at the 181st pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick184
Rnd6
Jyaire Hill
Somehow Jyaire Hill was still sitting there in the 184th overall pick, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick190
Rnd6
Will Heldt
A top-tier edge rusher at a bargain, Will Heldt in pick 190, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick192
Rnd6
Bear Alexander
Steal is underselling it; Bear Alexander at the Round 6 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick202
Rnd6
Mateen Ibirogba
You do not let an edge rusher like Mateen Ibirogba reach No. 202 and blink. They did not. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick206
Rnd6
Ahmad Moten Sr.
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at slot 206 is the definition of value, full stop. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick217
Rnd7
Devin McCuin
Devin McCuin at Round 7, Pick 1 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick218
Rnd7
LJ Martin
Circle this one: LJ Martin at the 218th pick is a fall that decides a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick236
Rnd7
Raylen Wilson
Raylen Wilson in the 236th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick238
Rnd7
Peter Clarke
Peter Clarke in pick No. 238 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick239
Rnd7
Austin Siereveld
Austin Siereveld at the Round 7 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick241
Rnd7
Elijah Paige
They robbed the room for Elijah Paige here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick243
Rnd7
Christian Alliegro
They will replay Christian Alliegro at pick No. 243 for years; that is how good the value is. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick244
Rnd7
Evan Tengesdahl
Taking Evan Tengesdahl in No. 244 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. The roster fit checks out.
Pick254
Rnd7
Iapani Laloulu
Circle this one: Iapani Laloulu at the 254th pick is a fall that decides a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Pick257
Rnd7
Anthony Smith
They barely believed it either: Anthony Smith still on the board at Round 7, Pick 41. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
