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

Thirty-one other rooms let Jake Golday slide, and the Texans were the ones holding the card at the 116th pick. Highway robbery. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. Singleton has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

They left with running back solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 CJ Allen
In pick No. 31 they get the heartbeat of the defense. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Emmanuel Pregnon
Emmanuel Pregnon in pick 38 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick59 Rnd2 Lee Hunter
Lee Hunter at No. 59 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jake Slaughter
They read the board right and Jake Slaughter was the payoff at slot 69. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick95 Rnd3 Nicholas Singleton
They liked Nicholas Singleton enough to skip the value, taking him in the 95th pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick106 Rnd4 Deion Burks
They barely believed it either: Deion Burks still on the board at the 106th overall pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick116 Rnd4 Jake Golday
Taking Jake Golday in the Round 4 slot is close to grand larceny; an edge rusher that good had no business lasting this long. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick141 Rnd5 Isaiah World
A straight-up fair deal on Isaiah World at Round 5, Pick 1, value and slot in agreement. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick167 Rnd5 Zxavian Harris
Zxavian Harris in the 167th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick191 Rnd6 Le'Veon Moss
They jumped the gun on Le'Veon Moss, taking him earlier than his grade liked. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick243 Rnd7 Andre Fuller
Andre Fuller at pick No. 243 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A minor itch, scratched.
