Thirty-one other rooms let Cam Skattebo slide, and the Texans were the ones holding the card at No. 241. Highway robbery.
The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Job largely done: running back settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick-by-Pick
In No. 25 they get a run-stuffing presence up front. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Tyler Booker in pick 58, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Steal is underselling it; Jalen Royals at the 89th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Mason Taylor at the 126th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Billy Bowman Jr. in Round 5, Pick 28 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Cam Skattebo at slot 241 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
