Houston Texans

The Texans cashed the board's mistake on Neal: D.

The Texans clearly saw something nobody else did in Logan Brown, taking him 53 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. The math is unkind, and the D follows.

On value alone, Neal makes the weekend a net positive. The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close.

They will answer for taking safety early while interior defensive lineman, quarterback and other spots went begging. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and interior defensive lineman is still a hole.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.30 · Pick 30 · Landon Jackson · DL-EDGE · rank 30
Landon Jackson at the 30th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R2.10 · Pick 42 · Emeka Egbuka · WR · rank 27
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Emeka Egbuka in Round 2, Pick 10. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R2.24 · Pick 56 · Tyler Warren · TE · rank 43
A tidy bit of business in slot 56, where Tyler Warren graded well above the range. It fills a real need, too.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Nick Emmanwori · S · rank 16
Somehow Nick Emmanwori was still sitting there in the Round 2 slot, and they pounced on premier safety value. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R2.32 · Pick 64 · Omarion Hampton · RB · rank 18
Omarion Hampton in slot 64 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R3.25 · Pick 89 · Andrew Mukuba · S · rank 70
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went safety with Andrew Mukuba while clear needs at interior defensive lineman, quarterback and other spots sat open.
R3.28 · Pick 92 · Logan Brown · OT · rank 145
A real head-scratcher, Logan Brown in No. 92 is miles ahead of his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R4.25 · Pick 126 · Maxwell Hairston · CB · rank 95
They barely believed it either: Maxwell Hairston still on the board at pick 126. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R5.28 · Pick 165 · Devin Neal · RB · rank 81
Devin Neal in the Round 5 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R7.25 · Pick 241 · Jonah Monheim · C · rank 203
Jonah Monheim at pick No. 241 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The roster fit checks out.
