FutureC
The Chargers won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B. Some picks age like wine; Keith Randolph Jr. at slot 159 will need to, sitting 59 spots clear of his grade. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.
The Greenfield pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The phones were where this weekend was really won. A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want.
In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
Pick Analysis
Pick34
Rnd2
Kool-Aid McKinstry
They read the board right and Kool-Aid McKinstry was the payoff at the 34th pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick55
Rnd2
Brian Thomas Jr.
The board fumbled Brian Thomas Jr. all the way to the Round 2 slot, and they scooped it up. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick63
Rnd2
Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil in pick No. 63 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick87
Rnd3
Patrick Paul
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Patrick Paul in Round 3, Pick 24, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick94
Rnd3
Audric Estime
Audric Estime at the 94th overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick126
Rnd4
Brenden Rice
Taking Brenden Rice in slot 126 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick130
Rnd4
Ben Sinnott
By-the-book stuff, Ben Sinnott at the Round 4 slot squarely in line with his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick153
Rnd5
Isaiah Davis
Isaiah Davis in Round 5, Pick 17 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick157
Rnd5
Roger Rosengarten
They barely believed it either: Roger Rosengarten still on the board at the 157th pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick159
Rnd5
Keith Randolph Jr.
A big swing on Keith Randolph Jr. at the 159th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick218
Rnd6
Trente Jones
Circle this one: Trente Jones at No. 218 is a fall that decides a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick225
Rnd7
Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III in pick No. 225 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick230
Rnd7
Evan Williams
Evan Williams at pick 230 is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick234
Rnd7
Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford in slot 234 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick236
Rnd7
Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett in Round 7, Pick 16 is fair value, right on his grade. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick248
Rnd7
Dominique Hampton
Value with a capital V on Dominique Hampton in No. 248, a genuine coup. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick250
Rnd7
Garret Greenfield
You do not let an offensive lineman like Garret Greenfield reach the 250th pick and blink. They did not. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick253
Rnd7
KT Leveston
KT Leveston is a better player than pick No. 253 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
