Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in pick No. 243: the Texans steal Pegues and grade out a B.

Thirty-one other rooms let JJ Pegues slide, and the Texans were the ones holding the card at the Round 7 slot. Highway robbery. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. They are betting Jackson proves the room right and everyone else wrong. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with running back the one that mattered most.

They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In slot 25 they get a red-zone target to build around, outstanding value to boot.
Pick58 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
A big swing on Donovan Jackson at pick 58, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick89 Rnd3 Savion Williams
Savion Williams at No. 89 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick127 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
They will replay Jordan Phillips at the 127th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick167 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
A slide stopped in pick No. 167, with Bhayshul Tuten worth more than the price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick243 Rnd7 JJ Pegues
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like JJ Pegues reach the Round 7 slot and blink. They did not. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
