FutureF
The Texans turned the phones into found money: B-. Nobody else had Deven Eastern anywhere near pick 223. The Texans did, by 64 spots, and that gap is the whole story.
They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The Dunker pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.
They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.
Pick Analysis
Pick11
Rnd1
Kadyn Proctor
In the 11th pick they get a blindside protector. A real need, handled.
Pick41
Rnd2
Peter Woods
Peter Woods at slot 41 is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick70
Rnd3
Gennings Dunker
Gennings Dunker in Round 3, Pick 6 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick71
Rnd3
Eli Stowers
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Eli Stowers at pick 71 is the proof. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick127
Rnd4
Trey Zuhn III
Trey Zuhn III at pick No. 127 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The roster fit checks out.
Pick147
Rnd5
Harold Perkins Jr.
Nice patience on Harold Perkins Jr., who had no business lasting to the 147th overall pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick167
Rnd5
Ar'maj Reed-Adams
They jumped the gun on Ar'maj Reed-Adams, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick189
Rnd6
Zane Durant
A tidy little value on Zane Durant in Round 6, Pick 8, a step better than break-even. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick197
Rnd6
Le'Veon Moss
Le'Veon Moss at slot 197 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick199
Rnd6
VJ Payne
By-the-book stuff, VJ Payne at the Round 6 slot squarely in line with his ranking. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick209
Rnd6
Diego Pavia
They reached a country mile for Diego Pavia at the 209th overall pick, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick223
Rnd7
Deven Eastern
Deven Eastern at the 223rd pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick248
Rnd7
Jamal Haynes
Jamal Haynes at pick 248 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
