FutureB
The Texans won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B. You can hear the double-takes from here. The Texans took Cedric Johnson at the 90th overall pick, roughly 70 spots before his name belonged.
They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want. The Fuaga pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.
Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Pick Analysis
Pick37
Rnd2
Taliese Fuaga
You do not let an offensive lineman like Taliese Fuaga reach the Round 2 slot and blink. They did not. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick59
Rnd2
Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes at pick 59 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick69
Rnd3
Sedrick Van Pran
They left a pile of value on the table to take Sedrick Van Pran this early at slot 69. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick90
Rnd3
Cedric Johnson
A real head-scratcher, Cedric Johnson in No. 90 is miles ahead of his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick104
Rnd4
Zion Tupuola-Fetui
Zion Tupuola-Fetui in pick No. 104 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick123
Rnd4
Jordan Jefferson
Jordan Jefferson at the 123rd pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick127
Rnd4
Ainias Smith
Ainias Smith slipping to No. 127 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick140
Rnd5
Justin Rogers
Justin Rogers in the Round 5 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick164
Rnd5
Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten at Round 5, Pick 28 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick183
Rnd6
Christian Jones
They paid a round early for Christian Jones in pick 183, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick225
Rnd7
Zakhari Franklin
They took Zakhari Franklin at par in the 225th pick, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick227
Rnd7
Omar Speights
Omar Speights at pick No. 227 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick239
Rnd7
Darius Muasau
A tidy bit of business in slot 239, where Darius Muasau graded well above the range. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick248
Rnd7
Steele Chambers
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Steele Chambers in the 248th overall pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
