Jmo4 DRAFTING FOR THETexans

The Texans did enough to get by: C+. The Texans treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending the 164th overall pick on Jordan Whittington a full 107 spots early.
A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. Running back is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
A perfectly average weekend, for better and for worse.
Pick Analysis
Pick23
Rnd1
Jordan Morgan
In Round 1, Pick 23 they get protection for the quarterback. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick59
Rnd2
Cooper Beebe
A big swing on Cooper Beebe at slot 59, well ahead of any board in the building. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick85
Rnd3
Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at pick No. 85 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick123
Rnd4
Christian Jones
Christian Jones at the 123rd overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick127
Rnd4
Javon Foster
By-the-book stuff, Javon Foster at pick 127 squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick164
Rnd5
Jordan Whittington
A real head-scratcher, Jordan Whittington in the 164th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick239
Rnd7
Keilan Robinson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Keilan Robinson. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick248
Rnd7
Derek Wingo
They went early on Derek Wingo in Round 7, Pick 28, and the value did not follow. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
