When a board-topper like Jahdae Barron slides to slot 167, you do not overthink it, and the Texans did not. One of the weekend's best, top to bottom, and a A- to show for it.
The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
In short, they turned a good board into a better roster, and it shows.
Pick-by-Pick
Circle this one: Ashton Jeanty at pick 58 is a fall that decides a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
You do not let a tight end like Colston Loveland reach pick No. 89 and blink. They did not. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Jahdae Barron in Round 5, Pick 28, plain and simple. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Somehow Dylan Fairchild was still sitting there in the 243rd pick, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
