FutureA-
The Texans bled value on every deal, hence the D-. The rest of the league had time to spare on Xavier Worthy; the Texans did not wait, grabbing him 32 spots ahead at Round 2, Pick 2. It grades a D-, and the process earned it.
They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
On the needs board they went 2 of 8, with running back the one that mattered most. Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work.
In the end, a class the front office will want to grow past quickly.
Pick Analysis
Pick34
Rnd2
Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy at the Round 2 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick108
Rnd4
Audric Estime
A clean, defensible pick in pick 108 with a little surplus value in Audric Estime. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
