The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Texans watched Tyler Booker slide 51 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.
Every board in the league had Griffith lower, and that gap is the story. Leaving running back unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
Pick-by-Pick
In the Round 1 slot they get an anchor for the defensive front. The biggest hole, addressed.
Tyler Warren at the 58th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It fills a real need, too.
You do not let an offensive lineman like Tyler Booker reach Round 3, Pick 25 and blink. They did not. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Savion Williams in the 127th pick, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
They robbed the room for Billy Bowman Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A minor itch, scratched.
Thor Griffith at pick 243 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
