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

There is a lot to like until you notice wide receiver is still a hole. The Texans never got to the one that mattered most.

The Pregnon reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. Running back is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick28 Rnd1 Emmanuel Pregnon

In the 28th pick they get a long-term starter on the line, even if it was a touch early. A clean fit for the roster.

Pick38 Rnd2 Lee Hunter

A premium they did not need to pay, Lee Hunter a notch or two before his time. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.

Pick59 Rnd2 Josiah Trotter

Josiah Trotter at slot 59 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.

Pick69 Rnd3 Jadarian Price

They took Jadarian Price at par in pick 69, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
