The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Texans watched Cam Skattebo slide 136 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.
They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
The skill positions did well by the weekend.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 25th pick they get a red-zone target to build around, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Nice patience on Matthew Golden, who had no business lasting to pick 58. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
A slide stopped in the 89th overall pick, with Tate Ratledge worth more than the price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
No drama and no debate, Darius Alexander went about where he belonged in Round 4, Pick 25. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Lathan Ransom at No. 165 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
They barely believed it either: Cam Skattebo still on the board at pick No. 241. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
