FutureC
Best value of the weekend goes to the Texans for Ward: C-. The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Texans watched Cameron Ward slide 70 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. The final tally is a middling C-.
Reaching for Baron left real value on the table behind him. The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end. The roster is better shaped than it was, with running back chief among the fixes.
It grades out a shrug today, with plenty of room to move either way.
Pick Analysis
Pick26
Rnd1
Tacario Davis
In the 26th pick they get an island corner. More want than need.
Pick41
Rnd2
Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. in pick No. 41 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick42
Rnd2
Kenneth Grant
Nice patience on Kenneth Grant, who had no business lasting to the Round 2 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick70
Rnd3
Trevor Etienne
They paid sticker price for Trevor Etienne in Round 3, Pick 6, and that is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick74
Rnd3
Tory Horton
Tory Horton at pick 74 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick88
Rnd3
Wyatt Milum
Wyatt Milum in slot 88 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick90
Rnd3
Clay Webb
They did well to land Clay Webb in the 90th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick102
Rnd4
Dasan McCullough
Dasan McCullough at No. 102 is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick120
Rnd4
Tyler Baron
A real head-scratcher, Tyler Baron in pick No. 120 is miles ahead of his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick155
Rnd5
Cameron Ward
They robbed the room for Cameron Ward here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick166
Rnd6
Jaeden Roberts
They took Jaeden Roberts at par in the 166th pick, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick216
Rnd7
J.J. Weaver
J.J. Weaver in slot 216 is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
