Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Texans were there to profit. Lathan Ransom, the No. 109 name on the board, should have been long gone before No. 167. No fireworks, but a solid B.
The Griffith pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. That running back hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.
Pick-by-Pick
In slot 25 they get a load in the middle. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Luther Burden III in pick 58 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
A reasonable price with a little left over, Donovan Jackson in pick No. 89. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Savion Williams at the 127th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
They will replay Lathan Ransom at the Round 5 slot for years; that is how good the value is. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Thor Griffith in No. 243, miles early. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
