“All four players we liked at their respective slots and I would also say that even though we drafted some bigger bodies, it’s not just like they’re big guys that can’t move,” GM Andrew Berry said in his press conference wrapping up the draft on Saturday afternoon. “That’s something that we will always prioritize, because I do think the NFL is becoming more and more of a space game. If you have big athletic players at any position group you’ll take them.
