They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Nadame Tucker, 46 picks early at pick 123.
They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want.
Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Pregnon.
Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Olaivavega Ioane and all.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick 26 they get a long-term starter on the line. A real need, handled.
A slide stopped in the 55th pick, with Emmanuel Pregnon worth more than the price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Nadame Tucker at No. 123 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
They took Thaddeus Dixon at par in slot 204, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
A clean, defensible pick in Round 7, Pick 30 with a little surplus value in Trey Zuhn III. It fills a real need, too.
