The Texans cashed the board's mistake on Restrepo: B.

Somebody in Round 3, Pick 25 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Texans sat still while Xavier Restrepo, the No. 63 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.

Every board in the league had Moore lower, and that gap is the story. The running back hole is the one line item this class does not answer. On the needs board they went 3 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

The skill positions did well by the weekend.

Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In pick 25 they get a difference-maker at receiver, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
They took Azareye'h Thomas at par in No. 58, which is nothing to complain about. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick79 Rnd3 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore at pick No. 79 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick89 Rnd3 Xavier Restrepo
Xavier Restrepo at Round 3, Pick 25 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick166 Rnd5 Jake Briningstool
Jake Briningstool at the 166th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick236 Rnd7 Shemar James
Nice patience on Shemar James, who had no business lasting to the 236th pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick241 Rnd7 Moliki Matavao
Moliki Matavao in the Round 7 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The roster fit checks out.
