Larceny in pick 241 lands the Texans a B, Skattebo and all.

When a board-topper like Cam Skattebo slides to pick 241, you do not overthink it, and the Texans did not. The bottom line is a respectable B.

Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Booker has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with running back the one that mattered most.

Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Booker
In the 25th overall pick they get an anchor for the offensive line, reach and all.
Pick58 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren is a better player than pick No. 58 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick89 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
They read the board right and Omarr Norman-Lott was the payoff at the Round 3 slot. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick126 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
You do not let a safety like Kevin Winston Jr. reach Round 4, Pick 25 and blink. They did not. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick165 Rnd5 Barrett Carter
They will replay Barrett Carter at the 165th pick for years; that is how good the value is. It fills a real need, too.
Pick241 Rnd7 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at No. 241 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
