Powerful DRAFTING FOR THETexans

Grand theft in slot 58: the Texans steal Warren and grade out a B. Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Texans were there to profit. Tyler Warren, the No. 14 name on the board, should have been long gone before No. 58.
They will regret leaving running back for another day if the season turns on it. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the running back spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Kenneth Grant
In the 25th overall pick they get an anchor for the defensive front. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick58
Rnd2
Tyler Warren
A tight end of that caliber at the Round 2 slot is the definition of value, full stop. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick89
Rnd3
Tate Ratledge
A quiet steal in pick 89: Tate Ratledge for less than the market said. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick127
Rnd4
Savion Williams
The board fumbled Savion Williams all the way to pick No. 127, and they scooped it up. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick167
Rnd5
Jackson Slater
Jackson Slater in Round 5, Pick 28 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick243
Rnd7
Jordan Hancock
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Jordan Hancock in the 243rd pick, plain and simple. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
