Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans let Rivers fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

Somebody in Round 5, Pick 27 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Texans sat still while Eric Rivers, the No. 131 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.

For all the activity, linebacker went untouched, which is hard to explain. The cost of the Jones reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Joshua Josephs
Joshua Josephs at the Round 1 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick38 Rnd2 Christen Miller
By-the-book stuff, Christen Miller at No. 38 squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick59 Rnd2 Brian Parker II
A reach on Brian Parker II in the 59th overall pick; the board had better options right there. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jadarian Price
Value with a capital V on Jadarian Price in slot 69, a genuine coup. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick106 Rnd4 Logan Jones
They reached into another round for Logan Jones, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick128 Rnd4 Dametrious Crownover
They paid sticker price for Dametrious Crownover in pick 128, and that is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick165 Rnd5 Eric Rivers
Eric Rivers in Round 5, Pick 27 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick243 Rnd7 Josh Cuevas
Josh Cuevas in the 243rd pick is fair value, right on his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick244 Rnd7 Luke Altmyer
Luke Altmyer at pick No. 244 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The roster fit checks out.
