The Texans cashed the board's mistake on Lacy: B.

The Texans spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Kewan Lacy, the No. 48 name on the board, in the 71st overall pick.

That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They left with running back solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Will Echoles
In Round 1, Pick 7 they get a wrecking ball inside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick71 Rnd3 Kewan Lacy
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Kewan Lacy in No. 71, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick109 Rnd4 Iapani Laloulu
Iapani Laloulu is a better player than pick No. 109 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
Pick189 Rnd6 Drew Bobo
Drew Bobo in the Round 6 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The roster fit checks out.
Pick197 Rnd6 Desmeal Leigh
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Desmeal Leigh at the 197th pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick242 Rnd7 Coleton Price
Coleton Price slipping to slot 242 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
