The Texans torched the value chart for Thor Griffith, taking him 67 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.
The Helm steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick No. 25 they get a wrecking ball inside, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Tyler Booker in pick 58 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
They jumped the gun on Savion Williams, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
You do not let a tight end like Gunnar Helm reach slot 127 and blink. They did not. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jackson Slater at No. 167 is the proof. It fills a real need, too.
A real head-scratcher, Thor Griffith in the Round 7 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
