Powerful DRAFTING FOR THETexans

Draft Grade — Texans

Grand theft in the 241st pick: the Texans steal Neal and grade out a B. Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Devin Neal got past him. The Texans do not have to explain a thing at the Round 7 slot. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.
A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want. 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 wide receiver spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Walter Nolen
In pick No. 25 they get a wrecking ball inside at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick57
Rnd2
Tyler Booker
They barely believed it either: Tyler Booker still on the board at Round 2, Pick 25. The roster fit checks out.
Pick89
Rnd3
Colston Loveland
They robbed the room for Colston Loveland here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick126
Rnd4
Andrew Mukuba
You do not let a safety like Andrew Mukuba reach slot 126 and blink. They did not. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick164
Rnd5
Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter at pick 164 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It fills a real need, too.
Pick241
Rnd7
Devin Neal
Devin Neal at No. 241 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.
