The steal of the weekend belongs to the Texans and Emmanwori: B-.

When a board-topper like Nick Emmanwori slides to pick 55, you do not overthink it, and the Texans did not.

Reaching for Hancock left real value on the table behind him. The running back spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Tyler Booker
In the Round 1 slot they get protection for the quarterback, a steep price for the projection. A real need, handled.
Pick55 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Taking Nick Emmanwori in pick 55 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick86 Rnd3 Deone Walker
A quiet steal in the 86th pick: Deone Walker for less than the market said. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick122 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
Tez Johnson in slot 122 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick164 Rnd5 Jordan Hancock
Jordan Hancock in pick No. 164 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick239 Rnd7 Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim at the 239th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The roster fit checks out.
