Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Texans: B-.

The Texans clearly saw something nobody else did in Desmond Watson, taking him 64 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Egbuka. They will regret leaving running back for another day if the season turns on it.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In No. 25 they get a moveable chess piece at tight end, and a steal at that.
Pick58 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
They robbed the room for Emeka Egbuka here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick79 Rnd3 Hollin Pierce
They left a pile of value on the table to take Hollin Pierce this early at the Round 3 slot. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick89 Rnd3 Jackson Slater
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jackson Slater well ahead of where he belonged. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick166 Rnd5 Desmond Watson
They reached into another round for Desmond Watson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick236 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
Cam Jackson at pick 236 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick241 Rnd7 Jalen Travis
They reached a country mile for Jalen Travis at Round 7, Pick 25, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
