Powerful DRAFTING FOR THETexans

Larceny in No. 241 lands the Texans a B, Neal and all. The board owed the Texans one, and it paid up: Devin Neal, the No. 83 name on the board, sitting there at pick 241 like a gift left on the doorstep. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.
The Stowers reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Mason Graham
The board fumbled Mason Graham all the way to the 25th overall pick, and they scooped it up. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick58
Rnd2
Tyler Booker
Taking Tyler Booker in Round 2, Pick 26 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick89
Rnd3
Xavier Watts
Circle this one: Xavier Watts at pick 89 is a fall that decides a draft. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick126
Rnd4
Eli Stowers
This one needs a full-page explanation: Eli Stowers in pick No. 126, miles early. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick164
Rnd5
Xavier Nwankpa
Xavier Nwankpa at the Round 5 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick241
Rnd7
Devin Neal
Devin Neal at No. 241 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
