Powerful DRAFTING FOR THETexans

A sensible, unshowy class lands the Texans a B-. You can hear the double-takes from here. The Texans took Thor Griffith at pick No. 243, roughly 66 spots before his name belonged. The bottom line is a respectable B-.
The Bowman Jr. pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The running back spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but running back.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Kenneth Grant
In the Round 1 slot they get a wrecking ball inside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick58
Rnd2
Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at pick No. 58 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The roster fit checks out.
Pick89
Rnd3
Elijah Arroyo
They let Elijah Arroyo come to them and pounced at the 89th overall pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick127
Rnd4
Savion Williams
Savion Williams at slot 127 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick167
Rnd5
Billy Bowman Jr.
The board fumbled Billy Bowman Jr. all the way to the 167th pick, and they scooped it up. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick243
Rnd7
Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith at Round 7, Pick 25 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
