FutureC
The Texans bled value on every deal, hence the C-. The Texans clearly saw something nobody else did in Joe Milton III, taking him 73 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. It lands right in the middle: a C-, no more, no less.
The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. Rosengarten at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.
With edge rusher, tight end and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on cornerback is the choice that costs them. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.
It nets out as a middle-of-the-pack haul that neither helps nor hurts much.
Pick Analysis
Pick42
Rnd2
Keon Coleman
They took Keon Coleman at par in the Round 2 slot, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick59
Rnd2
Trey Benson
A big swing on Trey Benson at Round 2, Pick 27, well ahead of any board in the building. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick74
Rnd3
Devontez Walker
Nothing to complain about; Devontez Walker went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick79
Rnd3
Patrick Paul
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Patrick Paul in slot 79. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick120
Rnd4
Elijah Jones
A clean, defensible pick in No. 120 with a little surplus value in Elijah Jones. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick123
Rnd4
Jarrian Jones
A want over a need in pick No. 123: Jarrian Jones adds a cornerback while edge rusher, tight end and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick127
Rnd4
Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III at the 127th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick161
Rnd5
Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten in No. 161 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick188
Rnd6
Gabe Hall
A real head-scratcher, Gabe Hall in the Round 6 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick247
Rnd7
Dominique Hampton
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Dominique Hampton at Round 7, Pick 27 is the proof. It adds depth where they could use a little.
