The Texans put a flag in the ground for Maason Smith, 32 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.

The Texans indulged a want in Smith while a need in interior defensive lineman and quarterback stayed open. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.27 · Pick 27 · Chop Robinson · DE-EDGE · rank 37
In Round 1, Pick 27 they get a disruptor off the edge, reach and all. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.21 · Pick 53 · Maason Smith · DT-EDGE · rank 85
They bypassed pressing needs at interior defensive lineman and quarterback to take Maason Smith, a DT-EDGE that was not the priority.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Malachi Corley · WR · rank 86
A straight-up fair deal on Malachi Corley at pick No. 88, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R4.21 · Pick 121 · Donovan Jackson · OG · rank 117
Good price on Donovan Jackson in No. 121, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R4.27 · Pick 127 · Jaden Hicks · S · rank 127
They took Jaden Hicks at par in slot 127, which is nothing to complain about. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R5.22 · Pick 158 · Ty'Ron Hopper · LB · rank 172
A conviction pick on Ty'Ron Hopper at the 158th overall pick that the board grades a round light. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R7.19 · Pick 239 · Blake Watson · RB · rank 235
They did well to land Blake Watson in the 239th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R7.22 · Pick 242 · Erick All · TE · rank 250
The board had cheaper options than Erick All at pick 242, and it noticed. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
