The Texans spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Malaki Starks, the No. 12 name on the board, in the Round 3 slot.
That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The roster is better shaped than it was, with running back chief among the fixes. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick No. 25 they get a disruptive interior force at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Somehow Tyler Booker was still sitting there in pick 58, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Malaki Starks at Round 3, Pick 25 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Elijah Arroyo at No. 127 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Cam Skattebo in the Round 5 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
No drama and no debate, Logan Parr went about where he belonged in the 243rd pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
