The Texans clearly saw something nobody else did in Thor Griffith, taking him 67 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced.
The Ransom pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back.
Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. The skill positions did well by the weekend.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the running back spot they never got to.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick No. 25 they get a moveable chess piece at tight end, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Isaiah Bond in Round 2, Pick 26 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Donovan Jackson at the 89th pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
No drama and no debate, Darius Alexander went about where he belonged in the 127th overall pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Circle this one: Lathan Ransom at the Round 5 slot is a fall that decides a draft. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
A big swing on Thor Griffith at slot 243, well ahead of any board in the building. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
