Larceny in pick 79 lands the Texans a B-, Henderson and all.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: TreVeyon Henderson, the 79th pick, roughly 25 picks past where he belonged.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The cost of the Booker reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with running back the one that mattered most. 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
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Booker
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a cornerstone up front, even if it was a touch early. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Tre Harris
No edge and no loss on Tre Harris in the Round 2 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick79 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
A top-tier running back at a bargain, TreVeyon Henderson in the 79th pick, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick89 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo at pick No. 89 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick166 Rnd5 Kyle Williams
They paid sticker price for Kyle Williams in the 166th overall pick, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick236 Rnd7 Desmond Watson
They read the board right and Desmond Watson was the payoff at pick 236. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick241 Rnd7 Jermari Harris
Jermari Harris is a better player than No. 241 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
