Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Texans spent the Round 2 slot on Keylan Rutledge, a name most had 55 spots down the list.

The Davis pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.28 · Pick 28 · Kayden McDonald · DT · rank 20
In No. 28 they get an anchor for the defensive front, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.6 · Pick 38 · Max Iheanachor · OT · rank 46
Max Iheanachor in pick 38 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R2.27 · Pick 59 · Keylan Rutledge · OG · rank 114
They reached into another round for Keylan Rutledge, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It fills a real need, too.
R3.5 · Pick 69 · Josiah Trotter · LB · rank 57
Nice patience on Josiah Trotter, who had no business lasting to pick No. 69. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R4.6 · Pick 106 · Nicholas Singleton · RB · rank 108
Nicholas Singleton in the Round 4 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R5.1 · Pick 141 · Tacario Davis · CB · rank 107
Tacario Davis in Round 5, Pick 1 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R5.27 · Pick 167 · George Gumbs Jr. · DE-EDGE · rank 191
A wild overpay on George Gumbs Jr. in pick No. 167, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R7.27 · Pick 243 · Eli Heidenreich · WR · rank 242
A straight-up fair deal on Eli Heidenreich at Round 7, Pick 27, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
