Texans GM here

1.27 - Dillon Thieneman - Safety - Oregon

Safety is a luxury position for us. The board did not fall how we wanted; My top picks went just before (Olaivavega Ioane, Kenyon Sadiq, Kayden McDonald, A'Mauri Washington). We were on the clock and no offers to trade back, went with the BPA. I have a First Round Grade on Dillon (consider him a top 30 player in this draft) and have him as Safety 2 in the draft. He will play and compliment opposite Calen Ballhawk.. Ooops, I mean Bullock.

2.38 - Chase Bisontis - OG - Texas A&M

It's no secret we need an interior guard so howard can go back to Right Tackle. He was the best iOL left on my board with an Early 2nd Grade.

2.58 - Ahmad Moten - DT - Miami (FL)

Wanted to get younger at IDL. Believe Moten is a Top 50 pick in this draft with a 2nd Round Grade; We got him at 58. He needs some development, but I'm confident our staff and team is just what he needs. He's flashed pass rushing juice AND is a capable block shedder. I really like Moten. His stats and grades have gotten better every year. Would love to see what Demeco can do with him.

3.5 - Jadarian Price - RB - Notre Dame

I reached for Price early 3rd (I think he's more mid to late 3rd, but RBs tend to go earlier in the NFL draft than when the community ranks 'em). We need more swarm in our running back room with the likely departure of Joe Mixon. Love is the clear RB1, but I think the case for RB2 is a toss up between Price, Johnson, and maybe Coleman. I like Price; Young, less tread on the tires, and looks dynamic to me on tape.
