The Texans bet big and early on Blake Watson, 104 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. The good and the questionable cancel out to a C-.
The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
A perfectly average weekend, for better and for worse.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 26th overall pick they get a difference-maker at receiver, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
In slot 27 they get a disruptor off the edge at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
In No. 28 they get a premier pass rusher. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Leonard Taylor III at pick No. 49 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
They did well to land Christian Mahogany in the 92nd pick, just ahead of his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
A premium they did not need to pay, Jaden Hicks a notch or two before his time. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Smael Mondon Jr. in slot 126 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
They reached into another round for Blake Watson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
