The real work happened on the phones. The Texans fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with. It nets out to a B+, which feels about right.

Every board in the league had Conner lower, and that gap is the story. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

Golden falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The veteran additions, Tee Higgins chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
