The Texans torched the value chart for Isaiah Williams, taking him 65 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.
The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
Running back was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick No. 23 they get a true top target. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kalen King. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Ja'Tavion Sanders in No. 58 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Bucky Irving at slot 81 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
A reach on DeWayne Carter in pick 90; the board had better options right there. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
A wild overpay on Isaiah Williams in the 126th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
