Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Texans.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Texans spent the 243rd pick on Thor Griffith, a name most had 66 spots down the list.
The Ransom pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
Pick-by-Pick
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher. The biggest hole, addressed.
Circle this one: Tyler Warren at the 58th pick is a fall that decides a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
A reasonable price with a little left over, Donovan Jackson in the 89th overall pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Savion Williams in pick 127 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Steal is underselling it; Lathan Ransom at pick No. 167 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
A real head-scratcher, Thor Griffith in No. 243 is miles ahead of his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
