The Texans robbed the room for Banks. Final grade: B. The Texans spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Caleb Banks, the No. 41 name on the board, in Round 3, Pick 5.
They are betting Prysock proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Job largely done: running back settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
Pick Analysis
Pick28
Rnd1
Kenyon Sadiq
In pick 28 they get a seam-stretching tight end, and a steal at that.
Pick38
Rnd2
Olaivavega Ioane
Olaivavega Ioane at pick No. 38 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick59
Rnd2
Anthony Hill Jr.
Anthony Hill Jr. in the Round 2 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The roster fit checks out.
Pick69
Rnd3
Caleb Banks
Caleb Banks at No. 69 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick106
Rnd4
Sam Hecht
The board had Sam Hecht higher than Round 4, Pick 6, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick141
Rnd5
CJ Daniels
By-the-book stuff, CJ Daniels at the 141st overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick167
Rnd5
Ephesians Prysock
They reached into another round for Ephesians Prysock, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick243
Rnd7
Desmond Reid
Desmond Reid at the 243rd pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
