Good, not great, for the Texans: B. You can draft well and still miss the point. The Texans did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to running back, which was the need that mattered most.
Reaching for Worthy left real value on the table behind him. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Mitchell. They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.
It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.
Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick42
Rnd2
Adonai Mitchell
They let Adonai Mitchell come to them and pounced at the 42nd overall pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick43
Rnd2
Ja'Tavion Sanders
Ja'Tavion Sanders in pick 43 lands just on the right side of the ledger. The roster fit checks out.
Pick44
Rnd2
Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy at slot 44 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick127
Rnd4
Christian Jones
Christian Jones at the 127th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick188
Rnd6
Myles Cole
Myles Cole in the Round 6 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick247
Rnd7
Tyler Owens
Tyler Owens at pick No. 247 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
