Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans let Skattebo fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Cam Skattebo, the No. 110 name on the board, stolen at Round 7, Pick 25.

They are betting Jackson proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
Emeka Egbuka at pick No. 25 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick58 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at Round 2, Pick 26 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick89 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
You do not let a safety like Xavier Watts reach the 89th overall pick and blink. They did not. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick126 Rnd4 Vernon Broughton
They went early on Vernon Broughton in the 126th pick, and the value did not follow. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick165 Rnd5 Sonny Styles
A safety of that caliber at No. 165 is the definition of value, full stop. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick241 Rnd7 Cam Skattebo
The board fumbled Cam Skattebo all the way to the Round 7 slot, and they scooped it up. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
