Thirty-one other rooms let Billy Bowman Jr. slide, and the Texans were the ones holding the card at pick 165. Highway robbery.
They are betting Griffith proves the room right and everyone else wrong. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back.
Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but running back.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 25th pick they get a wrecking ball inside. The biggest hole, addressed.
They robbed the room for Tyler Warren here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Dylan Fairchild at the 89th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Savion Williams at pick 126 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Steal is underselling it; Billy Bowman Jr. at No. 165 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
A big swing on Thor Griffith at the Round 7 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
