The steal of the weekend belongs to the Texans and Winston Jr.: B-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Kevin Winston Jr. got past him. The Texans do not have to explain a thing at Round 5, Pick 26. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

The running back spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They will need Booker to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Booker
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a long-term starter on the line, reach and all. A real need, handled.
Pick57 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
No drama and no debate, Tyleik Williams went about where he belonged in pick No. 57. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick89 Rnd3 Colston Loveland
The board fumbled Colston Loveland all the way to pick 89, and they scooped it up. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick126 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba at the 126th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick164 Rnd5 Kevin Winston Jr.
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Kevin Winston Jr. in the Round 5 slot, plain and simple. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick241 Rnd7 Jake Briningstool
Taking Jake Briningstool in the 241st overall pick is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
