Grand theft in slot 106: the Texans steal Golday and grade out a B-.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Texans were there to profit. Jake Golday, the No. 79 name on the board, should have been long gone before No. 106.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with running back the one that mattered most.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Kenyon Sadiq
A tidy bit of business in Round 1, Pick 28, where Kenyon Sadiq graded well above the range. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick38 Rnd2 Olaivavega Ioane
A reasonable price with a little left over, Olaivavega Ioane in the 38th pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick59 Rnd2 Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter at the 59th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jadarian Price
They read the board right and Jadarian Price was the payoff at No. 69. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick106 Rnd4 Jake Golday
A edge rusher of that caliber at pick No. 106 is the definition of value, full stop. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick128 Rnd4 Jakobe Thomas
Jakobe Thomas at pick 128 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick165 Rnd5 Jermaine Mathews Jr.
Jermaine Mathews Jr. in slot 165 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick243 Rnd7 Alex Harkey
By-the-book stuff, Alex Harkey at the Round 7 slot squarely in line with his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick244 Rnd7 Will Kacmarek
Fair-plus on Will Kacmarek, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
