Thirty-one other rooms let Nicholas Singleton slide, and the Texans were the ones holding the card at slot 239. Highway robbery.
The cost of the Stowers reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Running back was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.
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
In Round 1, Pick 19 they get a wrecking ball inside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Somehow Tate Ratledge was still sitting there in No. 55, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. A need, and now a little less of one.
Tyleik Williams at the 86th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Eli Stowers at pick No. 122 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
A wild overpay on Xavier Nwankpa in the 164th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Nicholas Singleton in slot 239 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
