FutureC-
The Texans won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B. The trade table was a mismatch, and the Texans were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value.
The Washington Jr. pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. Thieneman at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick28
Rnd1
Kenyon Sadiq
In pick No. 28 they get a red-zone target to build around, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick49
Rnd2
Christen Miller
Value with a capital V on Christen Miller in slot 49, a genuine coup. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick59
Rnd2
Dillon Thieneman
Dillon Thieneman in No. 59 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick69
Rnd3
Jadarian Price
They read the board right and Jadarian Price was the payoff at the 69th overall pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick97
Rnd3
Darrell Jackson Jr.
Fair-plus on Darrell Jackson Jr., a quiet win that adds up over a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick106
Rnd4
Mike Washington Jr.
A wild overpay on Mike Washington Jr. in Round 4, Pick 6, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick165
Rnd5
Le'Veon Moss
They reached into another round for Le'Veon Moss, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick226
Rnd7
Trey Zuhn III
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Trey Zuhn III. The roster fit checks out.
Pick243
Rnd7
Fernando Carmona
No drama and no debate, Fernando Carmona went about where he belonged in pick No. 243. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick244
Rnd7
Brett Norfleet
By-the-book stuff, Brett Norfleet at Round 7, Pick 28 squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
