Just my brief thought on "trading down" to match value... you only do that if your cluster is exhausted. Also, you need to have interest in your spot. The report was that there was no calls, and the Chargers didn't waste any time sending in the pick.

As of now (pick 52), Raimann, Lucas, and Petit-Frere are available…if one drops will TT pull the trigger?Our quarterback is a golden god.

If Zion was "the" guy, then by moving down you risked losing him. IMO, an additional 3rd and 4th did not merit losing a guy like Johnson. Now, for a 2nd-rounder...maybe. But I doubt anyone was willing to make that kind of offer. Mid-round picks (4th and beyond), don't carry much weight with me; they're just darts you throw that you hope hit the bullseye. Even a late 3rd-rounder isn't a prime catch, IMO.
Plus, I don't quite get what you're saying: The three guys you mentioned above (Dean, Booth, Mafe...all of whom I know nothing about), are they 3rd-round picks? 4th-round picks? Or would we have (probably) lost Johnson by trading down 5-8 spots and then taken one of those three guys with the 22nd-25th pick instead?
Looks like you're the most disappointed poster today. Most everyone else seems pretty happy. Hope Johnson's play changes your mind.
Booth 42th
Dean 83th this is a big steal
You really don't know about these guys ?
They all had a 1st round grade somewhere on a mock.
With an additional 2nd or 3rd, we could have one of them
Can't explain why the Chargers didn't grab Dean at 79.

That guy's going to be an incredible player. Just may not help us much this coming season but really haven't heard any specifics about his injury.
Heck I didn't even know he was hurting till I heard it tonight.

Who could you have with that ?
Yes, to knock it out of the park & leapfrog the competition it takes War Room Conviction, and a very detailed plan and ability to pivot in different directions to pull best talent that fits your needs and scheme implementation.
Stick and pick is the conservative, safe approach but they did trade away a 2nd to add a premium edge rusher in Mack. Therein lies a strength, where they can take advantage, but comes with a higher cost, just to build that foundation. In future drafts, it’s very possible with a solid nucleus in place (getting closer) trading back and moving draft capital around distinct possibility.

Zion to some guard hungry teams in between.
