FutureB
Brooks should have been long gone. The Texans pounced, and earned a B. The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Tahj Brooks, slot 241, roughly 43 picks past where he belonged. The bottom line is a respectable B.
The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss. The roster is better shaped than it was, with running back chief among the fixes.
They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.
Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Tyler Warren
In the 25th overall pick they get a mismatch in the passing game at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick66
Rnd3
Marcus Mbow
Marcus Mbow slipping to pick No. 66 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick79
Rnd3
Kaleb Johnson
Circle this one: Kaleb Johnson at No. 79 is a fall that decides a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick89
Rnd3
Savion Williams
Savion Williams in slot 89 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick166
Rnd5
Kyle Williams
No drama and no debate, Kyle Williams went about where he belonged in pick 166. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick236
Rnd7
Ja'Corey Brooks
A tidy little value on Ja'Corey Brooks in Round 7, Pick 20, a step better than break-even. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick241
Rnd7
Tahj Brooks
Tahj Brooks in the 241st pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick257
Rnd7
Ty Hamilton
Fair-plus on Ty Hamilton, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
