The Texans let Giddens fall into their laps, and walked away with a B. The Texans spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: DJ Giddens, the No. 170 name on the board, in slot 236. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.
The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The roster is better shaped than it was, with running back chief among the fixes.
The skill positions did well by the weekend.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Tyler Warren
In pick 25 they get a mismatch in the passing game at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick58
Rnd2
Tre Harris
Tre Harris slipping to the 58th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick79
Rnd3
Ozzy Trapilo
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ozzy Trapilo. The roster fit checks out.
Pick89
Rnd3
Charles Grant
No edge and no loss on Charles Grant in No. 89; it is a wash and a sensible one. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick166
Rnd5
Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin at slot 166 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick236
Rnd7
DJ Giddens
DJ Giddens at Round 7, Pick 20 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick241
Rnd7
Chimere Dike
The board fumbled Chimere Dike all the way to the 241st pick, and they scooped it up. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
