The Texans cashed the board's mistake on Skattebo: B. Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Cam Skattebo got past him. The Texans do not have to explain a thing at the 133rd overall pick. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.
If Dippre pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.
They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.
All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Matthew Golden
In the 25th pick they get a No. 1 receiver, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick63
Rnd2
Tate Ratledge
No drama and no debate, Tate Ratledge went about where he belonged in No. 63. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick79
Rnd3
Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo in the Round 3 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick89
Rnd3
Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson at pick 89 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick133
Rnd4
Cam Skattebo
You do not let a running back like Cam Skattebo reach pick No. 133 and blink. They did not. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick166
Rnd5
Kyle Williams
By-the-book stuff, Kyle Williams at Round 5, Pick 28 squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick226
Rnd7
CJ Dippre
They paid up for CJ Dippre at the 226th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick236
Rnd7
Phil Mafah
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Phil Mafah in slot 236. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick241
Rnd7
Jackson Hawes
A conviction pick on Jackson Hawes at Round 7, Pick 25 that the board grades a round light. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
