FutureB+
Richardson should have been long gone. The Texans pounced, and earned a B. This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Decamerion Richardson, the No. 174 name on the board, stolen at Round 6, Pick 21. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back. The cost of the Culp reach is exactly the players who went right after him.
Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick59
Rnd2
T.J. Tampa
They paid sticker price for T.J. Tampa in the Round 2 slot, and that is fine. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick85
Rnd3
Cade Stover
They took Cade Stover at par in Round 3, Pick 22, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick91
Rnd3
Calen Bullock
Calen Bullock at the 91st pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick99
Rnd3
Christian Mahogany
No edge and no loss on Christian Mahogany in the 99th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick126
Rnd4
Tyler Davis
They jumped the gun on Tyler Davis, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick127
Rnd4
Johnny Wilson
They did well to land Johnny Wilson in pick No. 127, just ahead of his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick154
Rnd5
McKinnley Jackson
A reach for McKinnley Jackson in No. 154; a little patience would have been rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick188
Rnd6
Javion Cohen
They paid up for Javion Cohen at slot 188 when waiting would have done the job. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick189
Rnd6
Ty'Ron Hopper
The board had Ty'Ron Hopper higher than pick 189, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. It fills a real need, too.
Pick196
Rnd6
Decamerion Richardson
Decamerion Richardson in No. 196 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick213
Rnd6
Zion Tupuola-Fetui
No drama and no debate, Zion Tupuola-Fetui went about where he belonged in pick No. 213. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick217
Rnd6
KT Leveston
A straight-up fair deal on KT Leveston at the 217th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick238
Rnd7
Steele Chambers
A slide stopped in Round 7, Pick 18, with Steele Chambers worth more than the price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick247
Rnd7
Matt Lee
Matt Lee in the Round 7 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick257
Rnd7
Devin Culp
This one needs a full-page explanation: Devin Culp in slot 257, miles early. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
