The Texans looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Thor Griffith at pick 243 regardless, 67 picks early.
Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Bond. They will regret leaving running back for another day if the season turns on it.
Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick-by-Pick
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a matchup weapon at tight end at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Donovan Jackson at the Round 2 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Isaiah Bond in the 89th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
You do not let a wide receiver like Savion Williams reach pick No. 127 and blink. They did not. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
A real head-scratcher, JJ Pegues in slot 167 is miles ahead of his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
They reached a country mile for Thor Griffith at the 243rd pick, and the board is aghast. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
