Call it larceny. Bhayshul Tuten sat on the board until the 241st pick, and the Texans did not need to be asked twice. No fireworks, but a solid B.
They are betting Broughton proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
Pick-by-Pick
In No. 25 they get a mismatch in the passing game at a price that makes it sweeter.
Matthew Golden is a better player than the 58th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Donovan Jackson in Round 3, Pick 25 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
A big swing on Vernon Broughton at pick 126, well ahead of any board in the building. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
They will replay Kevin Winston Jr. at pick No. 165 for years; that is how good the value is. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Steal is underselling it; Bhayshul Tuten at slot 241 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
