Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Texans.

The Texans torched the value chart for Trey Moore, taking him 43 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

That Orange pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Kenyon Sadiq
In pick 28 they get a mismatch in the passing game, and a steal at that.
Pick38 Rnd2 D'Angelo Ponds
A premium they did not need to pay, D'Angelo Ponds a notch or two before his time. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick59 Rnd2 Jacob Rodriguez
Jacob Rodriguez in the Round 2 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick69 Rnd3 Mike Washington Jr.
Mike Washington Jr. in the 69th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick106 Rnd4 Domonique Orange
Domonique Orange at slot 106 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick141 Rnd5 Trey Moore
Trey Moore at pick No. 141 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick167 Rnd5 Pat Coogan
A real head-scratcher, Pat Coogan in pick 167 is miles ahead of his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick243 Rnd7 Eli Heidenreich
No drama and no debate, Eli Heidenreich went about where he belonged in Round 7, Pick 27. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
