FutureC
The Texans bled value on every deal, hence the D-. They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Joe Milton III, 40 picks early at the 154th overall pick. Put together, it is a D-.
Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. Landing Odunze that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.
Adding Danielle Hunter by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.
Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, edge rusher very much included.
Pick Analysis
Pick28
Rnd1
Rome Odunze
In pick No. 28 they get a matchup problem out wide, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick33
Rnd2
T'Vondre Sweat
They paid sticker price for T'Vondre Sweat in the 33rd overall pick, and that is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick34
Rnd2
Taliese Fuaga
Taliese Fuaga slid further than he should have, and No. 34 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick42
Rnd2
Kris Abrams-Draine
Kris Abrams-Draine in the 42nd pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick43
Rnd2
Cooper Beebe
They jumped the gun on Cooper Beebe, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick90
Rnd3
TreVeyon Henderson
Nothing to complain about; TreVeyon Henderson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick117
Rnd4
Junior Colson
No edge and no loss on Junior Colson in slot 117; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick128
Rnd4
James Williams
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on James Williams. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick154
Rnd5
Joe Milton III
A wild overpay on Joe Milton III in the 154th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
