Good, not great, for the Texans: B-.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Texans started one anyway for Blake Watson, 32 picks ahead of schedule.

Green at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The offensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They left with running back solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In Round 1, Pick 23 they get a bendy edge with upside at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick59 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
A conviction pick on Xavier Legette at pick 59 that the board grades a round light. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick86 Rnd3 Leonard Taylor III
They paid a round early for Leonard Taylor III in the Round 3 slot, more than the board wanted. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick124 Rnd4 Renardo Green
Renardo Green in the 124th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick128 Rnd4 Marist Liufau
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Marist Liufau. It fills a real need, too.
Pick236 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
Joshua Cephus at No. 236 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick245 Rnd7 Blake Watson
They talked themselves into Blake Watson at slot 245, and the board did not agree. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick250 Rnd7 Brevyn Spann-Ford
A slide stopped in the 250th overall pick, with Brevyn Spann-Ford worth more than the price. A need, and now a little less of one.
