Some hits, some head-scratchers, and a C+ for the Texans.

The Jayden Higgins selection is the head-turner. The Texans reached 31 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered.

The running back spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

The verdict is a shrug for now, with the swing picks left to write the real ending.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Jayden Higgins
In pick No. 25 they get a go-to option on the outside, a steep price for the projection. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Cameron Williams
They liked Cameron Williams enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 2 slot. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick79 Rnd3 Deone Walker
No edge and no loss on Deone Walker in pick 79; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick89 Rnd3 Jared Wilson
They paid up for Jared Wilson at Round 3, Pick 25 when waiting would have done the job. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
