Larceny in Round 4, Pick 4 lands the Texans a B, Price and all.

When a board-topper like Jadarian Price slides to No. 104, you do not overthink it, and the Texans did not. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

For all the activity, wide receiver went untouched, which is hard to explain. They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made. Running back was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Kenyon Sadiq
In pick 28 they get a moveable chess piece at tight end at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick34 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
No drama and no debate, Anthony Hill Jr. went about where he belonged in pick No. 34. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick40 Rnd2 Emmanuel Pregnon
A straight-up fair deal on Emmanuel Pregnon at Round 2, Pick 8, value and slot in agreement. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick59 Rnd2 Lee Hunter
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Lee Hunter at No. 59 is the proof. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter at the 69th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It fills a real need, too.
Pick104 Rnd4 Jadarian Price
Steal is underselling it; Jadarian Price at slot 104 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick106 Rnd4 Nicholas Singleton
Nicholas Singleton at the 106th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick141 Rnd5 Kaleb Proctor
A reasonable price with a little left over, Kaleb Proctor in the Round 5 slot. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick167 Rnd5 Travis Burke
By-the-book stuff, Travis Burke at pick No. 167 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick243 Rnd7 TJ Hall
A quiet steal in the Round 7 slot: TJ Hall for less than the market said. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
