Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Texans: B-.

The Texans bet big and early on Nelson Ceaser, 39 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

The Benson pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Running back is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In slot 23 they get a sticky cover corner, and a steal at that.
Pick59 Rnd2 Roman Wilson
Roman Wilson in pick 59 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick86 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
The board fumbled Kiran Amegadjie all the way to Round 3, Pick 23, and they scooped it up. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick123 Rnd4 Trey Benson
Somehow Trey Benson was still sitting there in No. 123, and they pounced on premier running back value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick127 Rnd4 Nelson Ceaser
They reached a country mile for Nelson Ceaser at pick No. 127, and the board is aghast. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick224 Rnd7 Jaylan Ford
Steal is underselling it; Jaylan Ford at the 224th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick238 Rnd7 Tyler Owens
Tyler Owens at the 238th pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick247 Rnd7 Sam Hartman
A reach on Sam Hartman in pick No. 247; the board had better options right there. The roster fit checks out.
