What pick revealed the most about Ryan Poles’ thought process?
South Carolina defensive tackle Zacch Pickens in the third round (No. 64). After taking Florida defensive tackle Gervon Dexter in the second round (No. 53), Poles chose to load up in the interior of the line instead of reaching for an edge rusher. It remains to be seen if it will work out, but Poles’ patience and discipline — in everything he does in this job — seems like an impressive trait for a GM who inherited a huge mandate for change.
