Houston Texans

A solid, sensible weekend for the Texans: B-.

Hard to follow the map here. The Texans bypassed running back, interior defensive lineman and other spots to take Maason Smith at pick 95, a spot they had covered. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain. Reaching for Mitchell left real value on the table behind him. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Smith.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.24 · Pick 24 · Dallas Turner · LB-EDGE · rank 22
In Round 1, Pick 24 they get juice off the edge at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.21 · Pick 53 · Adonai Mitchell · WR · rank 73
Value said wait; Adonai Mitchell in Round 2, Pick 21 says they were not listening. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R3.32 · Pick 95 · Maason Smith · DT-EDGE · rank 81
A surprising call. With running back, interior defensive lineman and other spots still to address, they spent the 95th overall pick on Maason Smith, a DT-EDGE they were not short of.
