FutureB-
The Texans won the night they stopped McGlothern from sliding. Grade: B. The board owed the Texans one, and it paid up: Dwight McGlothern, the No. 161 name on the board, sitting there at pick 188 like a gift left on the doorstep. Good, not great, and the B says as much.
The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Briggs pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.
Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick52
Rnd2
Tyler Nubin
Value with a capital V on Tyler Nubin in the 52nd overall pick, a genuine coup. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick59
Rnd2
Keon Coleman
Keon Coleman in pick 59 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick83
Rnd3
Jaylen Wright
They read the board right and Jaylen Wright was the payoff at Round 3, Pick 19. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick87
Rnd3
Max Melton
The board had Max Melton higher than the Round 3 slot, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick123
Rnd4
Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray slipping to pick No. 123 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It fills a real need, too.
Pick127
Rnd4
Theo Johnson
Nothing to complain about; Theo Johnson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick174
Rnd5
Javion Cohen
Javion Cohen in the 174th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick188
Rnd6
Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern at No. 188 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick196
Rnd6
Trente Jones
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Trente Jones. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick247
Rnd7
Jowon Briggs
Jowon Briggs at No. 247 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
