ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Texans for Hancock: B.

The board owed the Texans one, and it paid up: Jordan Hancock, the No. 199 name on the board, sitting there at pick 243 like a gift left on the doorstep.

The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They left with running back solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In the 25th pick they get a moveable chess piece at tight end, outstanding value to boot.
Pick58 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
They barely believed it either: Nick Emmanwori still on the board at the 58th overall pick. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick89 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge in the Round 3 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick127 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
Jordan Phillips in pick No. 127 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick167 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
A slide stopped in Round 5, Pick 28, with Bhayshul Tuten worth more than the price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick243 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
They robbed the room for Jordan Hancock here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
