Powerful DRAFTING FOR THETexans
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Texans

The Texans won the night they stopped Woodson from sliding. Grade: B. The Texans did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Craig Woodson fell into the Round 7 slot.
They covered a lot of ground and still skipped running back, which is a strange place to end up. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.
Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Kenneth Grant
In pick No. 25 they get a wrecking ball inside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick58
Rnd2
Tyleik Williams
Somehow Tyleik Williams was still sitting there in slot 58, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick89
Rnd3
Tate Ratledge
Value with a capital V on Tate Ratledge in the 89th overall pick, a genuine coup. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick127
Rnd4
Savion Williams
A wide receiver of that caliber at the 127th pick is the definition of value, full stop. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick167
Rnd5
Oronde Gadsden II
They barely believed it either: Oronde Gadsden II still on the board at Round 5, Pick 28. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick243
Rnd7
Craig Woodson
Craig Woodson at the Round 7 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
