They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Donovan Smith, 32 picks early at the 210th pick.
A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want. The Henderson pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick-by-Pick
In slot 20 they get a long-term starter on the line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Wyatt Milum at pick No. 47 is the proof. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
A top-tier running back at a bargain, TreVeyon Henderson in the 78th overall pick, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Smael Mondon Jr. in the 114th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. It fills a real need, too.
They paid sticker price for Simeon Barrow Jr. in pick 199, and that is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Donovan Smith in Round 6, Pick 32 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
