Yep. JoeB said he chose her because of her race and gender and it's obvious the rest of his picks were as well. Diversity is the name of the game now, not most qualified. 

It's like taking BAP in any round in the draft. They're not the position you need but they're a better choice than all the other players in that round because they check certain boxes.
