The rest of the league will want that one back. Cam Skattebo tumbling to the Texans in pick 239 is a gift they did not have to think twice about.
They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. They are betting Nwankpa proves the room right and everyone else wrong. Running back is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick 19 they get an anchor for the defensive front at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Isaiah Bond at Round 2, Pick 23 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Luke Kandra in the Round 3 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Andrew Mukuba at the 122nd overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Xavier Nwankpa at No. 164 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Cam Skattebo in slot 239 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
