Every other box got a look, but interior defensive lineman did not. The Texans will head to camp with the same hole they walked in with. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

They will need Polk to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. However the rest shakes out, Edwards at that price is a win they earned.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.24 · Pick 24 · Dallas Turner · LB-EDGE · rank 22
Dallas Turner in the 24th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R2.21 · Pick 53 · Ja'Lynn Polk · WR · rank 70
Ja'Lynn Polk at No. 53 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R3.32 · Pick 95 · Donovan Edwards · RB · rank 86
They read the board right and Donovan Edwards was the payoff at slot 95. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R4.21 · Pick 121 · Shemar Turner · DL-EDGE · rank 136
A conviction pick on Shemar Turner at Round 4, Pick 21 that the board grades a round light. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R4.24 · Pick 124 · Ray Davis · RB · rank 137
They paid a round early for Ray Davis in pick 124, more than the board wanted. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
