A passer of the future in Smith, and a D+, for the Texans. The tape said wait; the Texans did not. Maliq Carr went at the 57th overall pick, a good 278 picks before the board was ready.
Brooks falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The whole projection now runs through Donovan Smith; hit there and everything else looks smarter.
For all the activity, wide receiver went untouched, which is hard to explain.
It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Donovan Smith
Donovan Smith at the Round 1 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick57
Rnd2
Maliq Carr
This one needs a full-page explanation: Maliq Carr in No. 57, miles early. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick89
Rnd3
Ar'maj Reed-Adams
Value said wait; Ar'maj Reed-Adams in the 89th pick says they were not listening. It fills a real need, too.
Pick126
Rnd4
Jalin Conyers
They reached a country mile for Jalin Conyers at Round 4, Pick 25, and the board is aghast. The roster fit checks out.
Pick164
Rnd5
Le'Veon Moss
The board had Le'Veon Moss higher than slot 164, and the running back fell to them anyway. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick241
Rnd7
Tahj Brooks
Tahj Brooks at the 241st overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick248
Rnd7
Scooby Williams
Scooby Williams in Round 7, Pick 34 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick249
Rnd7
Latrell McCutchin Sr.
Latrell McCutchin Sr. in pick 249 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick254
Rnd7
Reuben Fatheree II
Reuben Fatheree II at pick No. 254 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick256
Rnd7
Tunmise Adeleye
Tunmise Adeleye at the Round 7 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
