zfootball117917 DRAFTING FOR THETexans
Draft Grade — Texans
Overall

FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Texans, and a B- to prove it. Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Texans spent pick No. 69 on Mike Washington Jr., a name the board had a full 44 spots lower.
They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it. They left with running back solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.
In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
Pick Analysis
Pick28
Rnd1
Christen Miller
In pick 28 they get an anchor for the defensive front, though they paid up to get him. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick38
Rnd2
Emmanuel Pregnon
They took Emmanuel Pregnon at par in pick No. 38, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick59
Rnd2
Blake Miller
Blake Miller in the 59th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick69
Rnd3
Mike Washington Jr.
A real head-scratcher, Mike Washington Jr. in slot 69 is miles ahead of his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
