A solid, sensible weekend for the Texans: B-.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Tim Smith; the Texans did not wait, grabbing him 96 spots ahead at Round 7, Pick 25.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. Harris at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Grey Zabel
In pick No. 25 they get protection for the quarterback, reach and all.
Pick58 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins at No. 58 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick79 Rnd3 Carson Schwesinger
No drama and no debate, Carson Schwesinger went about where he belonged in the Round 3 slot. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick89 Rnd3 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson in pick 89 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It fills a real need, too.
Pick166 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
A quiet steal in the 166th overall pick: Bhayshul Tuten for less than the market said. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick236 Rnd7 Jermari Harris
They read the board right and Jermari Harris was the payoff at the 236th pick. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick241 Rnd7 Tim Smith
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Tim Smith. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
