FutureC
A passer of the future in McCarthy, and a F, for the Chargers. It is the swing that defines the weekend: Maason Smith in the 81st overall pick, a good 30 spots before the room expected him. There is no dressing it up: a F.
The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. The whole projection now runs through J.J. McCarthy; hit there and everything else looks smarter. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.
Getting Abrams-Draine where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.
About as rough as a weekend gets on paper, with edge rusher still staring back at them.
Pick Analysis
Pick7
Rnd1
Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In pick No. 7 they get protection for the quarterback. A real need, handled.
Pick11
Rnd1
J.J. McCarthy
They jumped the gun on J.J. McCarthy, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick23
Rnd1
Cooper DeJean
In the 23rd overall pick they get a lockdown presence outside at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick37
Rnd2
Xavier Worthy
This one needs a full-page explanation: Xavier Worthy in No. 37, miles early. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick38
Rnd2
Junior Colson
Junior Colson in the 38th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick40
Rnd2
Roman Wilson
No drama and no debate, Roman Wilson went about where he belonged in the Round 2 slot. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick67
Rnd3
Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia at No. 67 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick81
Rnd3
Maason Smith
Maason Smith at Round 3, Pick 17 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick102
Rnd4
Bucky Irving
A quiet steal in the Round 4 slot: Bucky Irving for less than the market said. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick105
Rnd4
Kris Abrams-Draine
Kris Abrams-Draine in slot 105 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick110
Rnd4
Christian Mahogany
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Christian Mahogany in pick No. 110. The roster fit checks out.
Pick181
Rnd6
Jordan Jefferson
No edge and no loss on Jordan Jefferson in the 181st pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick192
Rnd6
Jaylan Ford
They went early on Jaylan Ford in pick 192, and the value did not follow. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick253
Rnd7
Michael Barrett
They will replay Michael Barrett at the 253rd overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
