Every other box got a look, but running back did not. The Texans will head to camp with the same hole they walked in with. No fireworks, but a solid B.

They banked enough surplus on Legette to cover a lot of smaller sins. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.24 · Pick 24 · Xavier Legette · WR · rank 15
In pick 24 they get a difference-maker at receiver, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.21 · Pick 53 · Cooper Beebe · OG · rank 50
Cooper Beebe at pick No. 53 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R3.32 · Pick 95 · Christian Haynes · OG · rank 98
Christian Haynes at Round 3, Pick 32 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R4.21 · Pick 121 · James Williams · S · rank 123
No drama and no debate, James Williams went about where he belonged in the 121st overall pick. A minor itch, scratched.
R4.24 · Pick 124 · Tommy Eichenberg · LB · rank 129
Tommy Eichenberg in slot 124 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
