Larceny in pick No. 213 lands the Texans a B-, Daniels and all.

The Texans spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Jalon Daniels, the No. 165 name on the board, in slot 213.

They will regret leaving running back for another day if the season turns on it. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Denzel Burke
In pick 21 they get a ballhawk on the outside. More want than need.
Pick53 Rnd2 Princely Umanmielen
They robbed the room for Princely Umanmielen here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick85 Rnd3 Jay Higgins
A straight-up fair deal on Jay Higgins at the 85th pick, value and slot in agreement. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick117 Rnd4 Wyatt Milum
They paid sticker price for Wyatt Milum in pick No. 117, and that is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick149 Rnd5 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba in slot 149 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick213 Rnd7 Jalon Daniels
They barely believed it either: Jalon Daniels still on the board at Round 7, Pick 21. It fills a real need, too.
