Powerful DRAFTING FOR THETexans

Draft Grade — Texans

Larceny in the 241st overall pick lands the Texans a B, Stowers and all. The rest of the league will want that one back. Eli Stowers tumbling to the Texans in pick 241 is a gift they did not have to think twice about.
They are betting Capehart proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Ashton Jeanty
In the 25th overall pick they get a centerpiece for the ground game, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick57
Rnd2
Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker in No. 57 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It fills a real need, too.
Pick89
Rnd3
Xavier Watts
You do not let a safety like Xavier Watts reach slot 89 and blink. They did not. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick126
Rnd4
DeMonte Capehart
A big swing on DeMonte Capehart at the Round 4 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick164
Rnd5
Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. in pick 164 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick241
Rnd7
Eli Stowers
They barely believed it either: Eli Stowers still on the board at Round 7, Pick 27. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
