Skattebo should have been long gone. The Texans pounced, and earned a B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Cam Skattebo slide, and the Texans were the ones holding the card at No. 241. Highway robbery.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Job largely done: running back settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In No. 25 they get a run-stuffing presence up front. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Tyler Booker in pick 58, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick89 Rnd3 Jalen Royals
Steal is underselling it; Jalen Royals at the 89th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick126 Rnd4 Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor at the 126th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick165 Rnd5 Billy Bowman Jr.
Billy Bowman Jr. in Round 5, Pick 28 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick241 Rnd7 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at slot 241 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
