Powerful DRAFTING FOR THETexans

The steal of the weekend belongs to the Texans and Skattebo: B. The Texans spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Cam Skattebo, the No. 105 name on the board, in pick 241. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.
The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Running back was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.
They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.
Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Tyler Warren
In pick No. 25 they get a security blanket over the middle, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick58
Rnd2
Isaiah Bond
A clean, defensible pick in No. 58 with a little surplus value in Isaiah Bond. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick89
Rnd3
Tate Ratledge
A tidy bit of business in Round 3, Pick 25, where Tate Ratledge graded well above the range. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick126
Rnd4
Dylan Fairchild
Circle this one: Dylan Fairchild at the 126th pick is a fall that decides a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick165
Rnd5
Billy Bowman Jr.
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Billy Bowman Jr. in the Round 5 slot, plain and simple. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick241
Rnd7
Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at slot 241 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
