B
Houston Texans
A solid, sensible weekend for the Texans: B.
by psicosis6878yahoocom ·
2024 NFL Draft
· 11 picks
· 1 steals
· 7 reaches
They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Zion Logue, 86 picks early at slot 164. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.
The Worthy pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.
They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick-by-Pick
Payton Wilson in pick No. 59 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
They reached a country mile for Khyree Jackson at slot 73, and the board is aghast. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Steal is underselling it; Xavier Worthy at Round 3, Pick 22 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
They paid sticker price for Bucky Irving in the Round 3 slot, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Cedric Johnson in the 123rd pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
By-the-book stuff, Isaiah Adams at No. 127 squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Zion Logue at pick 164 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Matthew Jones in the Round 6 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
The board had cheaper options than Sheridan Jones at No. 213, and it noticed. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Desmond Evans in Round 7, Pick 19, miles early. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Jeremy James at the 248th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The roster fit checks out.
