The phones were a trap the Texans kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal.

Abrams-Draine has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.23 · Pick 23 · Rome Odunze · WR · rank 11
In Round 1, Pick 23 they get a weapon on the perimeter, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.15 · Pick 47 · Xavier Worthy · WR · rank 45
They took Xavier Worthy at par in the 47th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Jeremiah Trotter Jr. · LB · rank 61
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in slot 58 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R2.31 · Pick 63 · T'Vondre Sweat · DL · rank 60
T'Vondre Sweat at the 63rd pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R3.27 · Pick 90 · Zak Zinter · OG · rank 94
Zak Zinter at No. 90 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
R3.31 · Pick 94 · Kris Abrams-Draine · CB · rank 119
Kris Abrams-Draine at pick 94 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R4.7 · Pick 107 · Leonard Taylor III · DL · rank 112
By-the-book stuff, Leonard Taylor III at pick No. 107 squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R4.23 · Pick 123 · James Williams · S · rank 129
James Williams at the Round 4 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Braelon Allen · RB · rank 151
Braelon Allen at slot 126 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R5.27 · Pick 163 · Austin Booker · DL-EDGE · rank 156
A clean, defensible pick in the 163rd pick with a little surplus value in Austin Booker. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R7.19 · Pick 239 · Dwight McGlothern · CB · rank 249
They liked Dwight McGlothern enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 7, Pick 19. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
R7.27 · Pick 247 · Tanner McLachlan · TE · rank 261
Tanner McLachlan in pick No. 247 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
