The Texans did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Raheim Sanders fell into slot 241.

The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Kenneth Grant · DT · rank 23
In slot 25 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Tyler Booker · OG · rank 37
Tyler Booker in the 58th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R3.25 · Pick 89 · Xavier Watts · S · rank 48
Xavier Watts in Round 3, Pick 25 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R4.25 · Pick 126 · Luke Kandra · OG · rank 104
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Luke Kandra in pick No. 126, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R5.27 · Pick 164 · Smael Mondon Jr. · LB · rank 98
You do not let a linebacker like Smael Mondon Jr. reach No. 164 and blink. They did not. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R7.25 · Pick 241 · Raheim Sanders · RB · rank 142
Steal is underselling it; Raheim Sanders at pick 241 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
