26. Houston Texans 2020 NFL Draft
– There’s something to be said for the WIN NOW approach and blowing off the draft for proven NFL players. The draft is one big guess, and the odds of connecting on more than one or two great starters are overwhelmingly awful. So credit Houston – who’s getting hammered hard lately – for doing a nice job of mixing various theoretical models to put this whole thing together.

– Jonathan Greenard in the third is a stupid-great steal in the third, Be stunned if he’s not one of the best value picks in this whole thing. There wasn’t any wasted motion among the five picks.
– No one would’ve been stunned if Ross Blacklock went in the top 20. Getting him at 40 was fantastic, too. However, the Texans need a running back, and Jonathan Taylor went to Indianapolis at the 41.
