The Texans did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Cam Skattebo fell into the 241st pick. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.
The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They left with running back solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.
The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.
Pick-by-Pick
Kenneth Grant in Round 1, Pick 25 is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Tyler Booker in slot 58 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
You do not let a wide receiver like Isaiah Bond reach pick No. 89 and blink. They did not. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
A tight end of that caliber at No. 126 is the definition of value, full stop. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Steal is underselling it; Kevin Winston Jr. at the 165th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Cam Skattebo in the Round 7 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
