The Texans torched the value chart for Jaylan Ford, taking him 65 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. It grades a D-, and the process earned it.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Harris. The Smith pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at interior defensive lineman and tight end.

They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.24 · Pick 24 · Chop Robinson · DE-EDGE · rank 13
In slot 24 they get a bendy edge with upside, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
R1.25 · Pick 25 · JC Latham · OT · rank 15
Value with a capital V on JC Latham in the Round 1 slot, a genuine coup. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R2.1 · Pick 33 · Keon Coleman · WR · rank 36
Keon Coleman in the 33rd overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R2.21 · Pick 53 · Trey Benson · RB · rank 57
Trey Benson at Round 2, Pick 21 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R3.9 · Pick 73 · Maason Smith · DT-EDGE · rank 81
A curious use of the 73rd pick. Interior defensive lineman and tight end needed the pick; a DT-EDGE in Maason Smith did not.
R3.32 · Pick 95 · James Williams · S · rank 118
James Williams in pick 95 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R4.21 · Pick 121 · Khyree Jackson · CB · rank 117
They did well to land Khyree Jackson in pick No. 121, just ahead of his grade. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R4.24 · Pick 124 · Jaylan Ford · LB · rank 189
They talked themselves into Jaylan Ford at Round 4, Pick 24, and the board did not agree. It fills a real need, too.
R5.22 · Pick 158 · Christian Mahogany · OG · rank 188
They left a pile of value on the table to take Christian Mahogany this early at pick 158. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R7.20 · Pick 240 · Tre Harris · WR · rank 192
They robbed the room for Tre Harris here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R7.22 · Pick 242 · Phil Jurkovec · QB · rank 301
A big swing on Phil Jurkovec at the 242nd overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A need, and now a little less of one.
