The Texans went off the board in a big way for Cooper Beebe, 45 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. The process wobbled, and the D+ is where it lands.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

In short, the board sent warnings, and they will be hoping it was wrong.

Pick-by-Pick

R2.1 · Pick 33 · Cooper Beebe · OG · rank 78
A wild overpay on Cooper Beebe in the Round 2 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It fills a real need, too.
R2.8 · Pick 40 · T'Vondre Sweat · DL · rank 60
T'Vondre Sweat in No. 40 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R2.17 · Pick 49 · Jonathon Brooks · RB · rank 62
A reach on Jonathon Brooks in pick 49; the board had better options right there. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R3.1 · Pick 65 · Roman Wilson · WR · rank 82
They liked Roman Wilson enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 3, Pick 1. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R3.22 · Pick 85 · Marist Liufau · LB · rank 86
By-the-book stuff, Marist Liufau at the 85th pick squarely in line with his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · James Williams · S · rank 130
They reached a country mile for James Williams at the 88th overall pick, and the board is aghast. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R4.8 · Pick 108 · Dominick Puni · OT · rank 103
Good price on Dominick Puni in the 108th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R4.23 · Pick 123 · Jaylin Simpson · CB · rank 147
Jaylin Simpson at No. 123 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R4.27 · Pick 127 · Ben Sinnott · TE · rank 138
Ben Sinnott in the Round 4 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A need, and now a little less of one.
R5.10 · Pick 146 · Sincere Haynesworth · C · rank 153
A straight-up fair deal on Sincere Haynesworth at pick 146, value and slot in agreement. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R5.28 · Pick 164 · Michael Barrett · LB · rank 180
A premium they did not need to pay, Michael Barrett a notch or two before his time. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R6.1 · Pick 176 · Jaylen Harrell · DE-EDGE · rank 194
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jaylen Harrell this early at Round 6, Pick 1. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R6.25 · Pick 200 · Jawhar Jordan · RB · rank 202
No drama and no debate, Jawhar Jordan went about where he belonged in pick No. 200. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
