You can draft well and still miss the point. The Texans did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to wide receiver, which was the need that mattered most. No fireworks, but a solid B.
That is an offensive lineman worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. They will need Washington Jr. to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.
A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
Pick-by-Pick
In slot 28 they get a long-term starter on the line, outstanding value to boot.
Lee Hunter in Round 2, Pick 6 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Mike Washington Jr. at the 59th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
