I would think it's the opposite.

If they were that intent on picking Zary and only Zary they probably would have just taken him. It's more likely that they had a group of 4 or so players they were happy taking and because of that were ok dropping down to get more picks knowing that at least one of their preferred group would still be available when it came back to them.
