Good, not great, for the Texans: B-.

The tape said wait; the Texans did not. Ty'Ron Hopper went at the 128th overall pick, a good 49 picks before the board was ready.

They will regret leaving offensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. The Green pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The roster is better shaped than it was, with running back chief among the fixes.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Byron Murphy II
In the 23rd pick they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick59 Rnd2 Max Melton
Max Melton in slot 59 is fair value, right on his grade. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick86 Rnd3 Mohamed Kamara
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Mohamed Kamara well ahead of where he belonged. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick124 Rnd4 Renardo Green
Renardo Green slipping to pick No. 124 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick128 Rnd4 Ty'Ron Hopper
Ty'Ron Hopper in the 128th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick236 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. at No. 236 is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick245 Rnd7 Brevyn Spann-Ford
Brevyn Spann-Ford in the Round 7 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick250 Rnd7 De'Corian Clark
De'Corian Clark at slot 250 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
