FutureB-
The Texans cashed the board's mistake on Singleton: B+. The trade table was a mismatch, and the Texans were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value.
Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They are betting Halton proves the room right and everyone else wrong. However the rest shakes out, Singleton at that price is a win they earned.
Adding Josh Simmons by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.
Pick Analysis
Pick38
Rnd2
Dillon Thieneman
Dillon Thieneman at the 38th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick40
Rnd2
Christen Miller
Christen Miller in the Round 2 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick59
Rnd2
Jake Slaughter
Nice patience on Jake Slaughter, who had no business lasting to the 59th overall pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick69
Rnd3
Gennings Dunker
Gennings Dunker at pick 69 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick115
Rnd4
Nicholas Singleton
Taking Nicholas Singleton in slot 115 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick128
Rnd4
Cade Klubnik
No drama and no debate, Cade Klubnik went about where he belonged in No. 128. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick152
Rnd5
Ar'maj Reed-Adams
Ar'maj Reed-Adams is a better player than No. 152 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick165
Rnd5
Gracen Halton
The board had cheaper options than Gracen Halton at the Round 5 slot, and it noticed. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick243
Rnd7
Joey Aguilar
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Joey Aguilar in Round 7, Pick 27. It fills a real need, too.
Pick244
Rnd7
Jack Velling
A tidy bit of business in the 244th overall pick, where Jack Velling graded well above the range. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
