FutureD
The Texans let Jones fall and pounced. Final grade: B-. The Texans spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Sheridan Jones, the No. 219 name on the board, in No. 247. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.
They covered a lot of ground and still skipped running back, which is a strange place to end up. The Ford pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They went 3 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
The offense got the lion's share of the attention.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the running back spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick33
Rnd2
Troy Fautanu
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Troy Fautanu at pick 33. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick42
Rnd2
Adonai Mitchell
Adonai Mitchell slid further than he should have, and the Round 2 slot is lovely value for the wide receiver. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick59
Rnd2
Xavier Worthy
They did well to land Xavier Worthy in slot 59, just ahead of his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick86
Rnd3
Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie at pick No. 86 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick123
Rnd4
Sataoa Laumea
Value with a capital V on Sataoa Laumea in the 123rd overall pick, a genuine coup. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick127
Rnd4
Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson at Round 4, Pick 27 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick135
Rnd4
Christian Jones
Christian Jones at the 135th pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick185
Rnd6
Marist Liufau
Marist Liufau at No. 185 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick188
Rnd6
Jaylan Ford
They jumped the gun on Jaylan Ford, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick247
Rnd7
Sheridan Jones
Circle this one: Sheridan Jones at the 247th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick256
Rnd7
Tarheeb Still
Tarheeb Still slipping to Round 7, Pick 36 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick257
Rnd7
Joshua Cephus
A reach for Joshua Cephus in pick 257; a little patience would have been rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
