Grand theft in No. 165: the Texans steal Horton and grade out a B.

The Texans spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Tory Horton, the No. 112 name on the board, in pick No. 165. The bottom line is a respectable B.

Griffith has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
A tidy bit of business in the 25th pick, where Tyler Warren graded well above the range. The roster fit checks out.
Pick58 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker at pick No. 58 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick89 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge at slot 89 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It fills a real need, too.
Pick126 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander at the Round 4 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick165 Rnd5 Tory Horton
Steal is underselling it; Tory Horton at No. 165 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick241 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
A wild overpay on Thor Griffith in pick 241, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
