Winston Jr. should have been long gone. The Texans pounced, and earned a B-.

When a board-topper like Kevin Winston Jr. slides to Round 5, Pick 28, you do not overthink it, and the Texans did not. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

If Griffith pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. Leaving running back unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In slot 25 they get a disruptive interior force. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick58 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
A real head-scratcher, Donovan Jackson in the 58th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick89 Rnd3 Elijah Arroyo
Nice patience on Elijah Arroyo, who had no business lasting to No. 89. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick127 Rnd4 Savion Williams
They barely believed it either: Savion Williams still on the board at pick No. 127. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick167 Rnd5 Kevin Winston Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Kevin Winston Jr. at the 167th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick243 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Thor Griffith well ahead of where he belonged. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
