Larceny in Round 7, Pick 27 lands the Texans a B-, Jones and all.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Trente Jones got past him. The Texans do not have to explain a thing at No. 247.

Reaching for Liufau left real value on the table behind him. Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick42 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
Tyler Nubin at slot 42 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick59 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
A tidy bit of business in No. 59, where Kris Jenkins graded well above the range. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick86 Rnd3 Cam Hart
Cam Hart at Round 3, Pick 23 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick123 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
A straight-up fair deal on Isaac Guerendo at the 123rd pick, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick127 Rnd4 Marist Liufau
Value said wait; Marist Liufau in the 127th overall pick says they were not listening. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick188 Rnd6 Tanner McLachlan
They reached into another round for Tanner McLachlan, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick247 Rnd7 Trente Jones
They robbed the room for Trente Jones here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
