You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Chargers did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high.

A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want. They banked enough surplus on Melton to cover a lot of smaller sins.

The Laube reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
