The Texans looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Thor Griffith at the Round 7 slot regardless, 67 picks early.
That is an interior defensive lineman worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The running back hole is the one line item this class does not answer.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick-by-Pick
In the Round 1 slot they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Matthew Golden at slot 58 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Donovan Jackson at Round 3, Pick 25 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. A need, and now a little less of one.
Savion Williams in No. 127 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
The board fumbled Darius Alexander all the way to the 167th pick, and they scooped it up. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Thor Griffith at pick No. 243 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
