The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Texans watched Bhayshul Tuten slide 87 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.
For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. Job largely done: running back settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.
The skill positions did well by the weekend.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick-by-Pick
In slot 25 they get a true top target, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Jalon Walker in pick No. 58 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A need, and now a little less of one.
Fair-plus on Donovan Jackson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Sonny Styles at No. 126 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Oronde Gadsden II at the Round 5 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Bhayshul Tuten in the 241st pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
