FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Texans: B. You can draft well and still miss the point. The Texans did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to running back, which was the need that mattered most. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.
That Winston Jr. pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The cost of the Brockermeyer reach is exactly the players who went right after him.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but running back.
Pick Analysis
Pick21
Rnd1
Emeka Egbuka
In the 21st overall pick they get a go-to option on the outside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick53
Rnd2
Kevin Winston Jr.
A quiet steal in No. 53: Kevin Winston Jr. for less than the market said. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick85
Rnd3
Jacobee Bryant
A straight-up fair deal on Jacobee Bryant at pick No. 85, value and slot in agreement. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick117
Rnd4
Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. in the Round 4 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick149
Rnd5
Alfred Collins
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Alfred Collins. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick213
Rnd7
Tommy Brockermeyer
A conviction pick on Tommy Brockermeyer at slot 213 that the board grades a round light. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
