Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Texans were there to profit. Raheim Sanders, the No. 142 name on the board, should have been long gone before pick 241.
They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Running back was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.
The offense got the lion's share of the attention.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
Pick-by-Pick
In the Round 1 slot they get a cornerstone up front. A real need, handled.
Value with a capital V on Tyler Warren in pick 58, a genuine coup. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Circle this one: Tyleik Williams at No. 89 is a fall that decides a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
A safety of that caliber at Round 4, Pick 25 is the definition of value, full stop. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Smael Mondon Jr. at the 164th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Taking Raheim Sanders in slot 241 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
