They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Sam Hecht, 29 picks early at slot 57.
For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. Landing Haulcy that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The roster is better shaped than it was, with interior defensive lineman chief among the fixes.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.
Pick-by-Pick
In the Round 1 slot they get an anchor for the defensive front. The biggest hole, addressed.
A big swing on Sam Hecht at Round 2, Pick 25, well ahead of any board in the building. The roster fit checks out.
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing A.J. Haulcy in pick No. 60. A minor need, but a need all the same.
They took Bryce Lance at par in the 89th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
