Larceny in slot 167 lands the Texans a B, Haulcy and all.

Thirty-one other rooms let A.J. Haulcy slide, and the Texans were the ones holding the card at the 167th pick. Highway robbery.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped running back, which is a strange place to end up. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 David Bailey
In the 28th overall pick they get a double-digit-sack hope, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Kenyon Sadiq
The board fumbled Kenyon Sadiq all the way to slot 38, and they scooped it up. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick59 Rnd2 Monroe Freeling
Somehow Monroe Freeling was still sitting there in the 59th pick, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick69 Rnd3 Lee Hunter
Lee Hunter at the Round 3 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick106 Rnd4 Gennings Dunker
They will replay Gennings Dunker at Round 4, Pick 6 for years; that is how good the value is. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick141 Rnd5 Chris Johnson
Chris Johnson at pick 141 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick167 Rnd5 A.J. Haulcy
You do not let a safety like A.J. Haulcy reach No. 167 and blink. They did not. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick243 Rnd7 Kevin Coleman Jr.
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Kevin Coleman Jr. in pick No. 243, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
