Larceny in slot 241 lands the Texans a B+, Neal and all.

The Texans spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Devin Neal, the No. 87 name on the board, in pick 241.

They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it. Running back was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the 25th overall pick they get a bell-cow for the offense at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick57 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker in the Round 2 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick89 Rnd3 Deone Walker
They barely believed it either: Deone Walker still on the board at No. 89. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick126 Rnd4 Maxwell Hairston
The board fumbled Maxwell Hairston all the way to the 126th pick, and they scooped it up. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick164 Rnd5 Billy Bowman Jr.
Taking Billy Bowman Jr. in Round 5, Pick 26 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick241 Rnd7 Devin Neal
Devin Neal in pick 241 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
