Boards are made to be trusted, and the Texans shredded theirs for Thor Griffith. He came off 66 spots early, and the room will hear about it. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.
Landing Winston Jr. that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped running back, which is a strange place to end up.
Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick-by-Pick
In the Round 1 slot they get a load in the middle at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
The board fumbled Tyler Booker all the way to Round 2, Pick 26, and they scooped it up. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
A premium they did not need to pay, Savion Williams a notch or two before his time. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Elijah Arroyo in No. 127 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Kevin Winston Jr. at pick No. 167 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
They left a pile of value on the table to take Thor Griffith this early at the 243rd overall pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
