He even stopped in the media room at VMAC and cracked to reporters, “Don’t tell anyone but we’re taking a tight end.”

It was one of the best picks of the first round, which was one of the least intriguing in years — just two trades.
And now the Hawks’ draft will begin, with 11 picks from the 63rd to the 248th.
