The steal of the weekend belongs to the Texans and Sadiq: B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Kenyon Sadiq, the No. 19 name on the board, stolen at the 38th pick.

Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Running back was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Olaivavega Ioane
In No. 28 they get a building block for the line. A real need, handled.
Pick38 Rnd2 Kenyon Sadiq
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Kenyon Sadiq in the 38th overall pick, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick59 Rnd2 Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter slid further than he should have, and slot 59 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick69 Rnd3 Deontae Lawson
A quiet steal in the 69th pick: Deontae Lawson for less than the market said. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick106 Rnd4 Kaytron Allen
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Kaytron Allen at the Round 4 slot. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick128 Rnd4 DeMonte Capehart
DeMonte Capehart at pick No. 128 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick165 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
They will replay Davison Igbinosun at Round 5, Pick 27 for years; that is how good the value is. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick243 Rnd7 Will Kacmarek
They paid sticker price for Will Kacmarek in pick 243, and that is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick244 Rnd7 Micah Morris
They took Micah Morris at par in No. 244, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
