Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesC+ FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Texans a B-.

Somehow the biggest item on the list survived the weekend. The Texans never addressed wide receiver, and it is the kind of gap that lingers. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

The Singleton pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. Running back was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Their trades came out a wash either way.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Olaivavega Ioane
Olaivavega Ioane at the Round 1 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick38 Rnd2 Christen Miller
Christen Miller at pick 38 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick59 Rnd2 Jake Slaughter
They did well to land Jake Slaughter in the 59th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick69 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
A reasonable price with a little left over, Keionte Scott in No. 69. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick106 Rnd4 Nicholas Singleton
Nicholas Singleton slipping to slot 106 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
