FutureB-
The Texans let Lew fall into their laps, and walked away with a B. You could see the war room lean forward. Connor Lew at pick No. 106 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. The bottom line is a respectable B.
Moss has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They went 3 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick28
Rnd1
Olaivavega Ioane
In pick 28 they get an anchor for the offensive line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick38
Rnd2
Christen Miller
They paid sticker price for Christen Miller in the 38th pick, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick59
Rnd2
Blake Miller
Blake Miller in the Round 2 slot is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick69
Rnd3
Lee Hunter
They barely believed it either: Lee Hunter still on the board at slot 69. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick106
Rnd4
Connor Lew
Connor Lew in Round 4, Pick 6 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick167
Rnd5
Le'Veon Moss
This one needs a full-page explanation: Le'Veon Moss in No. 167, miles early. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick243
Rnd7
TJ Hall
Steal is underselling it; TJ Hall at the 243rd overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
