Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Texans spent the 244th overall pick on Jalen Catalon, a name the board had a full 55 spots lower. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

That Boerkircher pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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