Grand theft in Round 7, Pick 25: the Texans steal Spears-Jennings and grade out a B.

Somebody in slot 243 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Texans sat still while Robert Spears-Jennings, the No. 145 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.

That running back hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Interior defensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In the 25th overall pick they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick58 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
Walter Nolen at Round 2, Pick 26 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick89 Rnd3 Jalon Walker
They robbed the room for Jalon Walker here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick127 Rnd4 Dylan Fairchild
Steal is underselling it; Dylan Fairchild at slot 127 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick167 Rnd5 Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor at pick 167 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It fills a real need, too.
Pick243 Rnd7 Robert Spears-Jennings
A safety of that caliber at pick No. 243 is the definition of value, full stop. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
