Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesC FutureB-
The Texans checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The tape said wait; the Texans did not. Le'Veon Moss went at the Round 5 slot, a good 36 picks before the board was ready.

The Hall pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Running back was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. The trades cost them a sliver of value they did not need to spend.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Olaivavega Ioane
In pick No. 28 they get a cornerstone up front. A real need, handled.
Pick38 Rnd2 CJ Allen
CJ Allen in slot 38 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick59 Rnd2 Christen Miller
Christen Miller at pick 59 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jake Slaughter
A slide stopped in No. 69, with Jake Slaughter worth more than the price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick106 Rnd4 Nicholas Singleton
They paid sticker price for Nicholas Singleton in the 106th overall pick, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick141 Rnd5 Dametrious Crownover
By-the-book stuff, Dametrious Crownover at the 141st pick squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick167 Rnd5 Le'Veon Moss
Value said wait; Le'Veon Moss in pick 167 says they were not listening. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick169 Rnd5 Ar'maj Reed-Adams
They took Ar'maj Reed-Adams at par in pick No. 169, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick243 Rnd7 TJ Hall
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, TJ Hall in slot 243, plain and simple. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
