Powerful DRAFTING FOR THETexans

FutureB-
The Texans fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+. They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Thor Griffith, 67 picks early at pick 243.
Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. Williams at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.
They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick22
Rnd1
Tyler Warren
In pick No. 22 they get a moveable chess piece at tight end, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick25
Rnd1
Kenneth Grant
In the 25th overall pick they get an anchor for the defensive front. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick58
Rnd2
Trey Amos
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Trey Amos in the Round 2 slot. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick89
Rnd3
Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson in pick 89 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick127
Rnd4
Savion Williams
They robbed the room for Savion Williams here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick167
Rnd5
Jaylen Reed
Jaylen Reed at No. 167 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick243
Rnd7
Thor Griffith
This one needs a full-page explanation: Thor Griffith in the 243rd pick, miles early. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
