FutureA
Larceny in pick No. 209 lands the Texans a D+, Magee and all. You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Texans did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high.
The Leary reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. On value alone, Magee makes the weekend a net positive. The roster is better shaped than it was, with running back chief among the fixes.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.
Pick Analysis
Pick42
Rnd2
Braden Fiske
Fair-plus on Braden Fiske, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick59
Rnd2
Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell at the Round 2 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the edge rusher. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick86
Rnd3
Austin Booker
Austin Booker in Round 3, Pick 23 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick100
Rnd3
Andru Phillips
Somehow Andru Phillips was still sitting there in No. 100, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick110
Rnd4
MarShawn Lloyd
The board had MarShawn Lloyd higher than the 110th overall pick, and the running back fell to them anyway. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick123
Rnd4
Brandon Coleman
You do not let an offensive lineman like Brandon Coleman reach the 123rd pick and blink. They did not. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick127
Rnd4
Hunter Nourzad
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Hunter Nourzad at the Round 4 slot is the proof. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick155
Rnd5
Erick All
Circle this one: Erick All at pick No. 155 is a fall that decides a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick209
Rnd6
Jordan Magee
A linebacker of that caliber at the 209th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. It fills a real need, too.
Pick222
Rnd7
Ryan Flournoy
Steal is underselling it; Ryan Flournoy at No. 222 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick238
Rnd7
Devin Leary
Devin Leary at Round 7, Pick 18 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick247
Rnd7
Blake Watson
Taking Blake Watson in slot 247 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
