Powerful DRAFTING FOR THETexans
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Texans
Overall

FutureB-
The Texans let Fautanu fall into their laps, and walked away with a B. Thirty-one other rooms let Troy Fautanu slide, and the Texans were the ones holding the card at the 86th overall pick. Highway robbery. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.
If Jefferson pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick Analysis
Pick42
Rnd2
Nate Wiggins
Somehow Nate Wiggins was still sitting there in pick 42, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick59
Rnd2
Adonai Mitchell
Adonai Mitchell at Round 2, Pick 27 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick86
Rnd3
Troy Fautanu
The board fumbled Troy Fautanu all the way to the 86th overall pick, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick123
Rnd4
Isaac Guerendo
No drama and no debate, Isaac Guerendo went about where he belonged in pick No. 123. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick127
Rnd4
Jordan Jefferson
Jordan Jefferson in the 127th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick188
Rnd6
Marist Liufau
They barely believed it either: Marist Liufau still on the board at No. 188. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick247
Rnd7
Tyler Owens
A conviction pick on Tyler Owens at the Round 7 slot that the board grades a round light. A minor itch, scratched.
