Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesC+ FutureB
The Texans won the night they stopped Washington Jr. from sliding. Grade: B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Mike Washington Jr. had no business being available in pick No. 106, and the Texans did the only sane thing and turned in the card. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Stephens has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with running back the one that mattered most.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Kenyon Sadiq
In No. 28 they get a red-zone target to build around, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick47 Rnd2 Caleb Banks
Caleb Banks at Round 2, Pick 15 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick59 Rnd2 Christen Miller
No drama and no debate, Christen Miller went about where he belonged in pick 59. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jacob Rodriguez
Jacob Rodriguez in the 69th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick106 Rnd4 Mike Washington Jr.
They barely believed it either: Mike Washington Jr. still on the board at pick No. 106. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick113 Rnd4 Connor Lew
They will replay Connor Lew at the 113th pick for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick141 Rnd5 Beau Stephens
A real head-scratcher, Beau Stephens in the Round 5 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick167 Rnd5 Charles Demmings
They let Charles Demmings come to them and pounced at slot 167. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
