Grand theft in slot 236: the Texans steal Lambert-Smith and grade out a B-.

Somebody in the 236th overall pick was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Texans sat still while KeAndre Lambert-Smith, the No. 201 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Wilson pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. Job largely done: running back settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

They trusted the board more than the depth chart.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyleik Williams
In pick No. 25 they get a disruptive interior force, even if it was a touch early. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick58 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
A tidy little value on TreVeyon Henderson in the 58th overall pick, a step better than break-even. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick79 Rnd3 Carson Schwesinger
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Carson Schwesinger in slot 79. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick89 Rnd3 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson in the Round 3 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick166 Rnd5 Trevor Etienne
Trevor Etienne in pick 166 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick236 Rnd7 KeAndre Lambert-Smith
Taking KeAndre Lambert-Smith in Round 7, Pick 20 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick241 Rnd7 Caleb Ransaw
Somehow Caleb Ransaw was still sitting there in the 241st pick, and they pounced on premier safety value. It adds depth where they could use a little.
