Good, not great, for the Texans: B-.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Jackson Slater at pick 89, a reach of 59 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

The Egbuka pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped running back, which is a strange place to end up.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In the 25th overall pick they get a moveable chess piece at tight end, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
They will replay Emeka Egbuka at pick No. 58 for years; that is how good the value is. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick79 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild at slot 79 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick89 Rnd3 Jackson Slater
A real head-scratcher, Jackson Slater in No. 89 is miles ahead of his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick166 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
They talked themselves into JJ Pegues at pick 166, and the board did not agree. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick236 Rnd7 Desmond Watson
Good price on Desmond Watson in Round 7, Pick 20, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick241 Rnd7 Jalen Travis
Jalen Travis at pick 241 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
