CZ813 DRAFTING FOR THEChargers

Grand theft in the 142nd pick: the Chargers steal Haynes and grade out a C. The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Christian Haynes, the 142nd overall pick, roughly 65 picks past where he belonged. The final tally is a middling C.
The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.
So much rides on Marvin Harrison Jr. that the real verdict is a season or two away.
Pick Analysis
Pick5
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In No. 5 they get a weapon on the perimeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick37
Rnd2
Olumuyiwa Fashanu
They will replay Olumuyiwa Fashanu at pick No. 37 for years; that is how good the value is. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick69
Rnd3
Caelen Carson
Caelen Carson at the 69th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick79
Rnd3
Zach Frazier
A quiet steal in the 79th pick: Zach Frazier for less than the market said. The roster fit checks out.
Pick105
Rnd4
Junior Colson
Steal is underselling it; Junior Colson at Round 4, Pick 5 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick142
Rnd5
Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes in pick 142 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick183
Rnd6
Chau Smith-Wade
Taking Chau Smith-Wade in slot 183 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick226
Rnd7
Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III in the Round 7 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It fills a real need, too.
