When a board-topper like Cam Skattebo slides to slot 243, you do not overthink it, and the Texans did not.
Every board in the league had Jackson lower, and that gap is the story. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.
They left with running back solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.
A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
Pick-by-Pick
In slot 25 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
They reached a country mile for Donovan Jackson at No. 58, and the board is aghast. A need, and now a little less of one.
Savion Williams at the 89th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Elijah Arroyo at the 127th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Circle this one: Lathan Ransom at the Round 5 slot is a fall that decides a draft. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Cam Skattebo in Round 7, Pick 25, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
