Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Texans.

The Texans torched the value chart for Nadame Tucker, taking him 33 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

They banked enough surplus on Thomas to cover a lot of smaller sins. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Olaivavega Ioane
In Round 1, Pick 28 they get protection for the quarterback at fair value.
Pick38 Rnd2 Blake Miller
No drama and no debate, Blake Miller went about where he belonged in the 38th overall pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick59 Rnd2 Christen Miller
Good price on Christen Miller in the Round 2 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jadarian Price
They took Jadarian Price at par in the 69th pick, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick106 Rnd4 Harold Perkins Jr.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Harold Perkins Jr. in pick No. 106, miles early. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick141 Rnd5 Nadame Tucker
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Nadame Tucker. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick167 Rnd5 Domani Jackson
They paid a round early for Domani Jackson in the 167th pick, more than the board wanted. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick243 Rnd7 Zavion Thomas
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Zavion Thomas in No. 243, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
