QKeene72 DRAFTING FOR THETexans

Draft Grade — Texans
Overall
B-

FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Texans for Thomas: B-. There is a lot to like until you notice running back is still a hole. The Texans never got to the one that mattered most. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.
Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Thomas. They are betting Mahogany proves the room right and everyone else wrong.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but running back.
Pick Analysis
Pick42
Rnd2
Kamari Lassiter
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kamari Lassiter. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick59
Rnd2
Ruke Orhorhoro
A premium they did not need to pay, Ruke Orhorhoro a notch or two before his time. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick86
Rnd3
Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany in the 86th pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick123
Rnd4
Mohamed Kamara
The board had cheaper options than Mohamed Kamara at Round 4, Pick 23, and it noticed. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick127
Rnd4
James Williams
Fair-plus on James Williams, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick188
Rnd6
Cornelius Johnson
Cornelius Johnson at the Round 6 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick247
Rnd7
Nathan Thomas
Nathan Thomas in pick No. 247 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The roster fit checks out.
