The Texans' one glaring miss is edge rusher, a need they left exactly as they found it.
The Pregnon reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The Woods pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick-by-Pick
In the Round 1 slot they get a plug-and-play piece up front, though they paid up to get him. A real need, handled.
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Peter Woods at Round 2, Pick 6. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Jadarian Price in pick 59 is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Nothing to complain about; Zachariah Branch went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
They paid sticker price for Jalon Kilgore in the 106th overall pick, and that is fine. It adds depth where they could use a little.
No drama and no debate, J.C. Davis went about where he belonged in pick No. 141. A need, and now a little less of one.
Albert Regis at the 167th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
