Grand theft in the 91st overall pick: the Texans steal Bullard and grade out a D-.

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Texans, and the value they bled adds up to real damage.

The cost of the Abrams-Draine reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They will answer for taking safety early while tight end went begging.

For all the activity, tight end went untouched, which is hard to explain. However the rest shakes out, Bullard at that price is a win they earned.

A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.32 · Pick 32 · Emeka Egbuka · WR · rank 32
In the Round 1 slot they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.1 · Pick 33 · Chop Robinson · DE-EDGE · rank 37
They took Chop Robinson at par in slot 33, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R2.15 · Pick 47 · Xavier Legette · WR · rank 42
Xavier Legette at No. 47 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R2.21 · Pick 53 · T'Vondre Sweat · DL · rank 57
They paid sticker price for T'Vondre Sweat in the 53rd pick, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Trey Benson · RB · rank 81
Trey Benson at Round 3, Pick 25 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Javon Bullard · S · rank 65
The board fumbled Javon Bullard all the way to pick 91, and they scooped it up. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R3.30 · Pick 93 · Cooper Beebe · OG · rank 112
Cooper Beebe at pick No. 93 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R3.32 · Pick 95 · Kris Abrams-Draine · CB · rank 120
Kris Abrams-Draine at slot 95 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R3.36 · Pick 99 · Junior Colson · LB · rank 115
They paid up for Junior Colson at Round 3, Pick 36 when waiting would have done the job. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R4.7 · Pick 107 · James Williams · S · rank 129
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went safety with James Williams while clear needs at tight end sat open.
R4.19 · Pick 119 · Javon Foster · OT · rank 133
A premium they did not need to pay, Javon Foster a notch or two before his time. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R4.21 · Pick 121 · Jordan Travis · QB · rank 143
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jordan Travis well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R4.27 · Pick 127 · Cade Stover · TE-EDGE · rank 128
They bypassed pressing needs at tight end to take Cade Stover, a TE-EDGE that was not the priority.
R5.22 · Pick 158 · Mike Sainristil · CB · rank 136
They will replay Mike Sainristil at pick 158 for years; that is how good the value is. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
R7.19 · Pick 239 · Eric Gentry · LB · rank 240
Eric Gentry in No. 239 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
R7.22 · Pick 242 · Cody Schrader · RB · rank 238
Cody Schrader in Round 7, Pick 22 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
