Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in the 69th overall pick lands the Texans a B, Pregnon and all.

The Texans spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Emmanuel Pregnon, the No. 38 name on the board, in pick 69. No fireworks, but a solid B.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Running back was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. They trusted the board more than the depth chart.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In the 28th pick they get a three-down second-level presence. A real need, handled.
Pick38 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
Dillon Thieneman in No. 38 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick59 Rnd2 Christen Miller
Christen Miller at slot 59 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick69 Rnd3 Emmanuel Pregnon
Taking Emmanuel Pregnon in Round 3, Pick 5 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick106 Rnd4 Kaytron Allen
Nothing to complain about; Kaytron Allen went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick128 Rnd4 Keylan Rutledge
They did well to land Keylan Rutledge in the 128th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick165 Rnd5 Kevin Coleman Jr.
A slide stopped in pick 165, with Kevin Coleman Jr. worth more than the price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick243 Rnd7 Josh Cuevas
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Josh Cuevas. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick244 Rnd7 Zavion Thomas
They robbed the room for Zavion Thomas here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
