Good, not great, for the Texans: B-. The Texans went off the board in a big way for Christian Jones, 33 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.
Getting Kinchens where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick Analysis
Pick23
Rnd1
Quinyon Mitchell
In slot 23 they get a ballhawk on the outside, though they paid up to get him. More want than need.
Pick59
Rnd2
Kamren Kinchens
The board fumbled Kamren Kinchens all the way to the 59th pick, and they scooped it up. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick85
Rnd3
Roman Wilson
They paid sticker price for Roman Wilson in pick 85, and that is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick123
Rnd4
Leonard Taylor III
They read the board right and Leonard Taylor III was the payoff at No. 123. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick127
Rnd4
Jaheim Bell
They went early on Jaheim Bell in Round 4, Pick 27, and the value did not follow. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick164
Rnd5
Christian Jones
They reached into another round for Christian Jones, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick239
Rnd7
Nathaniel Watson
No drama and no debate, Nathaniel Watson went about where he belonged in No. 239. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick248
Rnd7
McKade Mettauer
A swing that ignored the value entirely, McKade Mettauer well ahead of where he belonged. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
