Larceny in pick 78 lands the Texans a B, Frazier and all.

The Texans spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Zach Frazier, the No. 57 name on the board, in pick No. 78.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The roster is better shaped than it was, with running back chief among the fixes.

Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In pick 20 they get a true top target. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick59 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Nice patience on Edgerrin Cooper, who had no business lasting to slot 59. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick78 Rnd3 Zach Frazier
Taking Zach Frazier in Round 3, Pick 14 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It fills a real need, too.
Pick123 Rnd4 Leonard Taylor III
Leonard Taylor III in the Round 4 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick188 Rnd6 Dominique Hampton
Dominique Hampton in pick No. 188 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick205 Rnd6 M.J. Devonshire
Value with a capital V on M.J. Devonshire in the 205th overall pick, a genuine coup. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick238 Rnd7 Lideatrick Griffin
Fair-plus on Lideatrick Griffin, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick247 Rnd7 Emani Bailey
A slide stopped in No. 247, with Emani Bailey worth more than the price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick249 Rnd7 Trente Jones
Trente Jones at Round 7, Pick 29 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
