Best value of the weekend goes to the Texans for Worthy: B-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Xavier Worthy got past him. The Texans do not have to explain a thing at No. 88.

Leaving running back unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In pick 27 they get a potential shutdown corner, and a steal at that. Need was not the driver here.
Pick53 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kris Jenkins. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick88 Rnd3 Xavier Worthy
Steal is underselling it; Xavier Worthy at the 88th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick121 Rnd4 Cooper Beebe
A tidy bit of business in Round 4, Pick 21, where Cooper Beebe graded well above the range. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick127 Rnd4 Junior Colson
A quiet steal in the Round 4 slot: Junior Colson for less than the market said. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick158 Rnd5 LaDarius Henderson
They took LaDarius Henderson at par in the 158th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick239 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson slid further than he should have, and No. 239 is lovely value for the linebacker. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick242 Rnd7 Dwight McGlothern
They will replay Dwight McGlothern at slot 242 for years; that is how good the value is. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
