The rest of the league will want that one back. Ricky Pearsall tumbling to the Texans in pick 238 is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

The Sanders pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. For all the activity, offensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.

They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.

Good work on the whole, with offensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick-by-Pick

R2.3 · Pick 35 · Keon Coleman · WR · rank 39
No edge and no loss on Keon Coleman in the 35th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R2.17 · Pick 49 · Jeremiah Trotter Jr. · LB · rank 46
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in No. 49 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The roster fit checks out.
R3.29 · Pick 92 · TreVeyon Henderson · RB · rank 84
A quiet steal in the 92nd overall pick: TreVeyon Henderson for less than the market said. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R3.30 · Pick 93 · Luke Lachey · TE · rank 106
Luke Lachey at Round 3, Pick 30 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R4.3 · Pick 103 · Cam Hart · CB · rank 104
They took Cam Hart at par in slot 103, which is nothing to complain about. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R4.17 · Pick 117 · Tykee Smith · S · rank 127
They paid a round early for Tykee Smith in pick No. 117, more than the board wanted. A minor itch, scratched.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Cade Stover · TE · rank 136
Cade Stover at pick 126 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R4.33 · Pick 133 · Cedric Gray · LB · rank 125
Nice patience on Cedric Gray, who had no business lasting to the Round 4 slot. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R5.18 · Pick 154 · T.J. Sanders · DT · rank 180
They reached into another round for T.J. Sanders, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R5.38 · Pick 174 · Darius Robinson · DL-EDGE · rank 198
They talked themselves into Darius Robinson at the Round 5 slot, and the board did not agree. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R7.14 · Pick 234 · Frank Gore Jr. · RB · rank 254
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Frank Gore Jr. well ahead of where he belonged. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R7.18 · Pick 238 · Ricky Pearsall · WR · rank 200
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Ricky Pearsall in Round 7, Pick 18, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
