Powerful DRAFTING FOR THETexans

Grand theft in slot 241: the Texans steal Skattebo and grade out a B. Somebody in No. 241 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Texans sat still while Cam Skattebo, the No. 105 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.
Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Job largely done: running back settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Tyler Warren
In slot 25 they get a mismatch in the passing game, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick58
Rnd2
Matthew Golden
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Matthew Golden in the Round 2 slot. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick89
Rnd3
Jalon Walker
They robbed the room for Jalon Walker here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick126
Rnd4
Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild in No. 126 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick165
Rnd5
Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. in Round 5, Pick 28 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick241
Rnd7
Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in the 241st pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
