When a board-topper like Cam Skattebo slides to the Round 7 slot, you do not overthink it, and the Texans did not. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

Nwankpa has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Mason Graham · DT · rank 6
In pick No. 25 they get a load in the middle at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Tyler Booker · OG · rank 37
Tyler Booker at pick 58 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R3.25 · Pick 89 · Tyler Warren · TE · rank 44
Taking Tyler Warren in the Round 3 slot is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R4.25 · Pick 126 · Andrew Mukuba · S · rank 71
Circle this one: Andrew Mukuba at No. 126 is a fall that decides a draft. A minor itch, scratched.
R5.27 · Pick 164 · Xavier Nwankpa · S · rank 192
Xavier Nwankpa at slot 164 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
R7.25 · Pick 241 · Cam Skattebo · RB · rank 113
They will replay Cam Skattebo at the 241st pick for years; that is how good the value is. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
