FutureB-
The Texans let Bishop fall into their laps, and walked away with a B. Call it larceny. Cole Bishop sat on the board until pick 123, and the Texans did not need to be asked twice. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.
The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. If Hartman pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. Job largely done: running back settled and 7 of 8 of the wish list covered.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick Analysis
Pick42
Rnd2
Byron Murphy II
The board fumbled Byron Murphy II all the way to Round 2, Pick 10, and they scooped it up. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick63
Rnd2
Darius Robinson
They will replay Darius Robinson at the 63rd pick for years; that is how good the value is. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick86
Rnd3
Kamari Lassiter
Kamari Lassiter at the Round 3 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick123
Rnd4
Cole Bishop
Taking Cole Bishop in pick No. 123 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick124
Rnd4
Cedric Gray
A tidy little value on Cedric Gray in slot 124, a step better than break-even. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick127
Rnd4
Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at pick 127 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick132
Rnd4
Audric Estime
Audric Estime slipping to the 132nd overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick188
Rnd6
Sataoa Laumea
Sataoa Laumea at No. 188 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It fills a real need, too.
Pick189
Rnd6
Javion Cohen
A reach on Javion Cohen in Round 6, Pick 14; the board had better options right there. The roster fit checks out.
Pick238
Rnd7
Sam Hartman
Sam Hartman at pick 238 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick247
Rnd7
Darius Muasau
Darius Muasau at the Round 7 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
