Powerful DRAFTING FOR THETexans

Draft Grade — Texans

Grand theft in the 241st pick: the Texans steal Neal and grade out a B. The Texans spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Devin Neal, the No. 86 name on the board, in Round 7, Pick 27. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.
They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Running back is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Walter Nolen
Walter Nolen at the 25th pick is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick57
Rnd2
Tyler Booker
You do not let an offensive lineman like Tyler Booker reach the 57th overall pick and blink. They did not. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick89
Rnd3
Jalon Walker
They barely believed it either: Jalon Walker still on the board at Round 3, Pick 25. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick126
Rnd4
Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. at No. 126 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick164
Rnd5
Eli Stowers
Eli Stowers in pick No. 164 is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick241
Rnd7
Devin Neal
Devin Neal in pick 241 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
