Maria DRAFTING FOR THETexans

FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Texans: B-. Everything else got attention, and wide receiver got none. That is a strange way for the Texans to leave a draft. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.
Landing Slaughter that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They are betting Washington Jr. proves the room right and everyone else wrong.
Job largely done: running back settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.
Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.
Pick Analysis
Pick28
Rnd1
Kenyon Sadiq
In the 28th pick they get a security blanket over the middle, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick38
Rnd2
Emmanuel Pregnon
Emmanuel Pregnon at pick 38 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It fills a real need, too.
Pick59
Rnd2
Jake Slaughter
A quiet steal in the Round 2 slot: Jake Slaughter for less than the market said. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick69
Rnd3
Lee Hunter
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Lee Hunter at No. 69 is the proof. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick106
Rnd4
Jacob Rodriguez
Jacob Rodriguez is a better player than slot 106 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick128
Rnd4
Mike Washington Jr.
They paid a round early for Mike Washington Jr. in the 128th overall pick, more than the board wanted. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick165
Rnd5
Davison Igbinosun
Nice patience on Davison Igbinosun, who had no business lasting to pick No. 165. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick243
Rnd7
PJ Williams
A reasonable price with a little left over, PJ Williams in Round 7, Pick 27. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick244
Rnd7
Haynes King
They took Haynes King at par in No. 244, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
