The one they had to fix is still broken. The Texans left wide receiver untouched, and that omission hangs over an otherwise reasonable haul. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

The Dunker pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. Job largely done: running back settled and 3 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.28 · Pick 28 · Peter Woods · DT · rank 30
In Round 1, Pick 28 they get a run-stuffing presence up front at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.6 · Pick 38 · Gennings Dunker · OG · rank 52
They went early on Gennings Dunker in No. 38, and the value did not follow. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R2.27 · Pick 59 · Jadarian Price · RB · rank 61
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jadarian Price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
