FutureB-
The phones sank the Texans this weekend: D. It is the swing that defines the weekend: J.J. Weaver in the 191st pick, a good 191 spots before the room expected him. It grades a D, and the process earned it.
Whatever else happened, they won the night they took McCord. The trades bled value they could not afford to lose.
Job largely done: running back settled and 8 of 8 of the wish list covered.
Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.
Pick Analysis
Pick27
Rnd1
Armand Membou
In pick No. 27 they get a long-term starter on the line at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick33
Rnd2
Matthew Golden
The board fumbled Matthew Golden all the way to slot 33, and they scooped it up. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick37
Rnd2
Nick Emmanwori
The board had Nick Emmanwori higher than No. 37, and the safety fell to them anyway. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick58
Rnd2
Kaleb Johnson
A quiet steal in Round 2, Pick 26: Kaleb Johnson for less than the market said. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick85
Rnd3
Elijah Arroyo
Elijah Arroyo at the 85th overall pick is money in the bank, a tight end taken below his worth. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick89
Rnd3
Barrett Carter
They read the board right and Barrett Carter was the payoff at the Round 3 slot. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick90
Rnd3
Deone Walker
A tidy little value on Deone Walker in Round 3, Pick 26, a step better than break-even. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick91
Rnd3
Jared Wilson
They liked Jared Wilson enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 91. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick122
Rnd4
Tommi Hill
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Tommi Hill. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick166
Rnd5
Logan Brown
Logan Brown at pick No. 166 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick191
Rnd6
J.J. Weaver
Value said wait; J.J. Weaver in the 191st pick says they were not listening. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick236
Rnd7
Kyle McCord
You do not let a quarterback like Kyle McCord reach the Round 7 slot and blink. They did not. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick241
Rnd7
Jarquez Hunter
They will replay Jarquez Hunter at the 241st overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
