Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Texans, and a B- to prove it.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Jonah Coleman; the Texans did not wait, grabbing him 36 spots ahead at slot 59. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The roster is better shaped than it was, with running back chief among the fixes. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Peter Woods
In Round 1, Pick 28 they get an anchor for the defensive front. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Max Iheanachor
A premium they did not need to pay, Max Iheanachor a notch or two before his time. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick59 Rnd2 Jonah Coleman
Jonah Coleman in the Round 2 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
