FutureB-
The Texans got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D. Nobody had Antwaun Powell-Ryland this high, and it is not close. The Texans reached 42 spots to get him at slot 108.
They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.
The Campbell pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.
It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Armand Membou
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get an anchor for the offensive line. A real need, handled.
Pick30
Rnd1
Tyler Warren
In No. 30 they get a mismatch in the passing game, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick33
Rnd2
Emeka Egbuka
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Emeka Egbuka in the 33rd overall pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick58
Rnd2
Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell in pick No. 58 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick79
Rnd3
Tate Ratledge
The board had Tate Ratledge higher than slot 79, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick89
Rnd3
Kevin Winston Jr.
They jumped the gun on Kevin Winston Jr., taking him earlier than his grade liked. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick108
Rnd4
Antwaun Powell-Ryland
This one needs a full-page explanation: Antwaun Powell-Ryland in pick 108, miles early. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick127
Rnd4
Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander in slot 127 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick167
Rnd5
RJ Harvey
A reasonable price with a little left over, RJ Harvey in No. 167. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick243
Rnd7
Clay Webb
Clay Webb in pick No. 243 is fair value, right on his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
