It is a puzzling start. The Texans had edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots to solve and reached instead for Cam Hart, a cornerback, at slot 127.

Jackson has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.23 · Pick 23 · Keon Coleman · WR · rank 23
In pick No. 23 they get a difference-maker at receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.27 · Pick 59 · Trey Benson · RB · rank 72
Trey Benson at slot 59 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R3.22 · Pick 85 · Khyree Jackson · CB · rank 104
This one needs a full-page explanation: Khyree Jackson in No. 85, miles early. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R4.23 · Pick 123 · James Williams · S · rank 130
They took James Williams at par in pick 123, which is nothing to complain about. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R4.27 · Pick 127 · Cam Hart · CB · rank 133
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Cam Hart adds a cornerback and leaves edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots untouched.
