Grand theft in Round 5, Pick 27: the Texans steal Emmanwori and grade out a B.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Nick Emmanwori tumbling to the Texans in the 155th pick is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped running back, which is a strange place to end up. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but running back.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Harold Perkins Jr.
In slot 24 they get a three-down second-level presence at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick41 Rnd2 Colston Loveland
Colston Loveland at No. 41 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick56 Rnd2 Jordan Hancock
They took Jordan Hancock at par in the 56th pick, which is nothing to complain about. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick88 Rnd3 Nazir Stackhouse
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Nazir Stackhouse. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick120 Rnd4 Shemar Turner
They read the board right and Shemar Turner was the payoff at pick 120. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick155 Rnd5 Nick Emmanwori
Taking Nick Emmanwori in pick No. 155 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick216 Rnd7 Traeshon Holden
Traeshon Holden at the Round 7 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
