Thirty-one other rooms let Elijah Sarratt slide, and the Texans were the ones holding the card at the Round 4 slot. Highway robbery. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.
The running back hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 28th pick they get a ballhawk on the outside, and a steal at that. More want than need.
Peter Woods is a better player than No. 38 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
A linebacker of that caliber at slot 59 is the definition of value, full stop. A need, and now a little less of one.
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 69, where Chase Bisontis graded well above the range. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Circle this one: Elijah Sarratt at Round 4, Pick 6 is a fall that decides a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Parker Brailsford at pick 141 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Isaiah World in the Round 5 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
A slide stopped in the 243rd overall pick, with Miles Kitselman worth more than the price. The roster fit checks out.
