FutureB
The Texans let Dixon fall and pounced. Final grade: B. Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Texans were there to profit. Johnny Dixon, the No. 200 name on the board, should have been long gone before pick No. 232. No fireworks, but a solid B.
They covered a lot of ground and still skipped running back, which is a strange place to end up. The Spann-Ford pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick42
Rnd2
Braden Fiske
A reasonable price with a little left over, Braden Fiske in slot 42. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick59
Rnd2
Chris Braswell
Good price on Chris Braswell in the 59th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick123
Rnd4
Cam Hart
They let Cam Hart come to them and pounced at pick No. 123. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick127
Rnd4
Brenden Rice
A clean, defensible pick in No. 127 with a little surplus value in Brenden Rice. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick137
Rnd5
Tyler Davis
A tidy little value on Tyler Davis in Round 5, Pick 1, a step better than break-even. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick180
Rnd6
Walter Rouse
A tidy bit of business in the Round 6 slot, where Walter Rouse graded well above the range. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick188
Rnd6
Sione Vaki
Fair-plus on Sione Vaki, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick189
Rnd6
Javion Cohen
Javion Cohen at the 189th overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick230
Rnd7
Steele Chambers
Steele Chambers at slot 230 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick232
Rnd7
Johnny Dixon
Steal is underselling it; Johnny Dixon at the 232nd pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick238
Rnd7
Jordan Whittington
Jordan Whittington at pick No. 238 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick247
Rnd7
Brevyn Spann-Ford
They paid up for Brevyn Spann-Ford at No. 247 when waiting would have done the job. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
