Houston Texans

A solid, sensible weekend for the Texans: B.

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

R2.27 · Pick 59 · Payton Wilson · LB · rank 70
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.
R3.9 · Pick 73 · Khyree Jackson · CB · rank 105
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.
R3.22 · Pick 85 · Xavier Worthy · WR · rank 43
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.
R3.31 · Pick 94 · Bucky Irving · RB · rank 93
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.
R4.23 · Pick 123 · Cedric Johnson · DE-EDGE · rank 160
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.
R4.27 · Pick 127 · Isaiah Adams · OT · rank 126
By-the-book stuff, Isaiah Adams at No. 127 squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R5.28 · Pick 164 · Zion Logue · DL · rank 250
Zion Logue at pick 164 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R6.34 · Pick 209 · Matthew Jones · OG · rank 242
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.
R6.38 · Pick 213 · Sheridan Jones · CB · rank 221
The board had cheaper options than Sheridan Jones at No. 213, and it noticed. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
R7.19 · Pick 239 · Desmond Evans · DL-EDGE · rank 315
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.
R7.28 · Pick 248 · Jeremy James · OT · rank 253
Jeremy James at the 248th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The roster fit checks out.
