Powerful DRAFTING FOR THETexans

FutureD-
The Texans robbed the room for Rosemy-Jacksaint. Final grade: B. You could see the war room lean forward. Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint at slot 250 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.
The cost of the Hopper reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The phones were where this weekend was really won.
Running back is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick Analysis
Pick23
Rnd1
Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In Round 1, Pick 23 they get a building block for the line, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick24
Rnd1
Chop Robinson
In pick 24 they get a disruptor off the edge. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick41
Rnd2
Terrion Arnold
A quiet steal in slot 41: Terrion Arnold for less than the market said. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick58
Rnd2
Kool-Aid McKinstry
They will replay Kool-Aid McKinstry at pick No. 58 for years; that is how good the value is. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick59
Rnd2
Leonard Taylor III
Leonard Taylor III at the 59th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick86
Rnd3
Calen Bullock
Calen Bullock is a better player than the Round 3 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick87
Rnd3
Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette slipping to No. 87 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick124
Rnd4
Blake Corum
Blake Corum in the 124th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick128
Rnd4
Ty'Ron Hopper
They left a pile of value on the table to take Ty'Ron Hopper this early at the Round 4 slot. The roster fit checks out.
Pick236
Rnd7
Tanner McLachlan
Tanner McLachlan slid further than he should have, and pick No. 236 is lovely value for the tight end. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick245
Rnd7
Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III at the 245th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick250
Rnd7
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
They robbed the room for Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
