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

Thirty-one other rooms let Jonah Coleman slide, and the Texans were the ones holding the card at No. 106. Highway robbery.

The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Spears-Jennings reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Olaivavega Ioane
Good price on Olaivavega Ioane in the 28th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick38 Rnd2 Christen Miller
A straight-up fair deal on Christen Miller at pick 38, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick59 Rnd2 Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter at pick No. 59 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jake Golday
A clean, defensible pick in No. 69 with a little surplus value in Jake Golday. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick106 Rnd4 Jonah Coleman
Taking Jonah Coleman in the Round 4 slot is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick128 Rnd4 Michael Trigg
Michael Trigg is a better player than slot 128 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick165 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
Value with a capital V on Davison Igbinosun in Round 5, Pick 27, a genuine coup. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick243 Rnd7 Trey Zuhn III
They took Trey Zuhn III at par in the 243rd pick, which is nothing to complain about. The roster fit checks out.
Pick244 Rnd7 Robert Spears-Jennings
A reach for Robert Spears-Jennings in the Round 7 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
