This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Jake Majors, the No. 93 name on the board, stolen at pick 164.
The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
The Texans clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.
Bottom line, with Isaiah Bond leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.
Pick-by-Pick
Value with a capital V on Isaiah Bond in slot 46, a genuine coup. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
They robbed the room for Kenneth Grant here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Armand Membou at the 78th overall pick is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Omarion Hampton at pick 84 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
They will replay Omarr Norman-Lott at No. 113 for years; that is how good the value is. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Fair-plus on Savion Williams, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
You do not let an offensive lineman like Jake Majors reach Round 5, Pick 27 and blink. They did not. A need, and now a little less of one.
Jake Briningstool at the 235th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
