The Texans went off the board in a big way for Jalen Royals, 32 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Mullings.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.31 · Pick 31 · Jalen Royals · WR · rank 63
In the 31st pick they get a difference-maker at receiver, though the board says they badly overpaid. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Elijah Arroyo · TE · rank 78
Elijah Arroyo at Round 2, Pick 26 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R3.25 · Pick 89 · Jaylin Noel · WR · rank 102
They liked Jaylin Noel enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 89. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R4.26 · Pick 127 · Kalel Mullings · RB · rank 115
A slide stopped in the Round 4 slot, with Kalel Mullings worth more than the price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
