Good, not great, for the Texans: B-.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Texans spent pick 244 on Caden Prieskorn, a name most had 38 spots down the list.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Wyatt Milum
In slot 30 they get a building block for the line at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick62 Rnd2 Dylan Fairchild
They went early on Dylan Fairchild in the 62nd pick, and the value did not follow. The roster fit checks out.
Pick94 Rnd3 Rylie Mills
Rylie Mills at pick 94 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick131 Rnd4 Jonah Coleman
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jonah Coleman this early at No. 131. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick164 Rnd5 Shemar Turner
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Shemar Turner. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick244 Rnd7 Caden Prieskorn
Caden Prieskorn in the Round 7 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
