Houston Texans

The Texans went off-script early, and it cost them a F.

The Texans looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Theo Wease Jr. at No. 137 regardless, 36 picks early. The board sounded every alarm, and the F is the fallout.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Travis.

About as rough as a weekend gets on paper, with running back still staring back at them.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.30 · Pick 30 · Emeka Egbuka · WR · rank 32
In the 30th pick they get a matchup problem out wide. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · Ja'Tavion Sanders · TE · rank 47
Ja'Tavion Sanders in pick No. 36 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R2.12 · Pick 44 · T'Vondre Sweat · DL · rank 57
T'Vondre Sweat at the Round 2 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R2.27 · Pick 59 · Byron Murphy II · DL · rank 71
A reach on Byron Murphy II in Round 2, Pick 27; the board had better options right there. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R3.14 · Pick 78 · Cooper Beebe · OG · rank 111
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Cooper Beebe well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R3.30 · Pick 93 · Junior Colson · LB · rank 114
Junior Colson at slot 93 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It fills a real need, too.
R3.35 · Pick 98 · Cam Hart · CB · rank 124
Value said wait; Cam Hart in pick 98 says they were not listening. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R4.20 · Pick 120 · James Williams · S · rank 128
A reach for James Williams in pick No. 120; a little patience would have been rewarded. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R4.23 · Pick 123 · Javon Foster · OT · rank 132
A conviction pick on Javon Foster at the Round 4 slot that the board grades a round light. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R5.1 · Pick 137 · Theo Wease Jr. · WR · rank 173
Theo Wease Jr. at the 137th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R5.27 · Pick 163 · Jordan Travis · QB · rank 142
Jordan Travis in Round 5, Pick 27 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The roster fit checks out.
R5.38 · Pick 174 · Christian Jones · OT · rank 182
They jumped the gun on Christian Jones, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
