Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Texans, and a B- to prove it.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Texans would have aced it. Micah Morris at Round 7, Pick 27 is 80 spots clear of where he belonged.

The Lew value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Olaivavega Ioane
In pick 28 they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick38 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Anthony Hill Jr.. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick59 Rnd2 Lee Hunter
Lee Hunter slipping to slot 59 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jadarian Price
Jadarian Price at the 69th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick106 Rnd4 Connor Lew
Connor Lew at No. 106 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick141 Rnd5 Oscar Delp
They let Oscar Delp come to them and pounced at Round 5, Pick 1. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick167 Rnd5 Domani Jackson
Domani Jackson at Round 5, Pick 27 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick243 Rnd7 Micah Morris
Micah Morris at the 243rd overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
