Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in slot 243: the Texans steal Hancock and grade out a B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Jordan Hancock, the No. 204 name on the board, stolen at the 243rd pick. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

That running back hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. On the needs board they went 3 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the running back spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In pick No. 25 they get a run-stuffing presence up front, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick58 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
They robbed the room for Emeka Egbuka here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick89 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
They did well to land Donovan Jackson in pick 89, just ahead of his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick127 Rnd4 Savion Williams
You do not let a wide receiver like Savion Williams reach the 127th pick and blink. They did not. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick167 Rnd5 Jackson Slater
Circle this one: Jackson Slater at the 167th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick243 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Jordan Hancock in Round 7, Pick 25, plain and simple. It adds depth where they could use a little.
