McVay wanted guys who were elusive or could get yards after the catch, along with the precise routes and hands we all knew he wanted. There was a clear directive on that with his first two choices in this draft.
.

Plus all of his picks are very bright, very dedicated, very motivated, and impress you with what's above the neck.

I really think it's all 8 picks.

The second they drafted Everett I happened to click on an interview he gave at the senior bowl. He was about as impressive a guy as they've drafted recently just in terms of his throughtfulness and focus. And I don't mean flashy, vain intelligence. He just has the kind of mentality, smarts, and focus you want. And yeah I think it's true of all 8 of them.

There's not just one word for it. It's not just "smarts." It's that plus a whole set of other positive mental attributes.
