FutureC
The Texans let Loveland fall and pounced. Final grade: B+. The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Colston Loveland, the 58th pick, roughly 33 picks past where he belonged. It nets out to a B+, which feels about right.
The phones were where this weekend was really won. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
The Kris Jenkins pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns. The roster is better shaped than it was, with running back chief among the fixes.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
Pick Analysis
Pick49
Rnd2
Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker slid further than he should have, and slot 49 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick58
Rnd2
Colston Loveland
Colston Loveland in the 58th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The roster fit checks out.
Pick62
Rnd2
Jonah Savaiinaea
Jonah Savaiinaea in the Round 2 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick80
Rnd3
Dylan Sampson
A quiet steal in pick 80: Dylan Sampson for less than the market said. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick89
Rnd3
Jack Bech
Somehow Jack Bech was still sitting there in pick No. 89, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick94
Rnd3
Darius Alexander
They paid sticker price for Darius Alexander in Round 3, Pick 30, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick96
Rnd3
Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba slipping to the 96th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick118
Rnd4
Denzel Burke
Denzel Burke at No. 118 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick164
Rnd5
Logan Brown
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Logan Brown at the 164th overall pick is the proof. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick166
Rnd5
Ty Robinson
Ty Robinson in pick 166 is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
