Call it larceny. Kaleb Johnson sat on the board until Round 4, Pick 25, and the Texans did not need to be asked twice.
For all the activity, wide receiver went untouched, which is hard to explain. Running back is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.
Pick-by-Pick
In No. 25 they get an anchor for the defensive front, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Somehow Tyler Booker was still sitting there in the 58th overall pick, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Deone Walker at Round 3, Pick 25 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
They will replay Kaleb Johnson at slot 126 for years; that is how good the value is. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Kevin Winston Jr. in pick 164 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Brant Kuithe in pick No. 241 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
