Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Texans a B-.

The tape said wait; the Texans did not. J. Michael Sturdivant went at the 165th pick, a good 52 picks before the board was ready.

A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Emmanuel Pregnon
In Round 1, Pick 31 they get a cornerstone up front. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Gennings Dunker
They paid a round early for Gennings Dunker in pick No. 38, more than the board wanted. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick59 Rnd2 Darrell Jackson Jr.
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Darrell Jackson Jr.. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick69 Rnd3 Zakee Wheatley
A reach for Zakee Wheatley in No. 69; a little patience would have been rewarded. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick95 Rnd3 Harold Perkins Jr.
Harold Perkins Jr. at the 95th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick106 Rnd4 Jaishawn Barham
They took Jaishawn Barham at par in the 106th pick, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick128 Rnd4 Keylan Rutledge
Fair-plus on Keylan Rutledge, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The roster fit checks out.
Pick165 Rnd5 J. Michael Sturdivant
They talked themselves into J. Michael Sturdivant at the 165th pick, and the board did not agree. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick243 Rnd7 Micah Morris
They paid sticker price for Micah Morris in the 243rd overall pick, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick244 Rnd7 Noah Thomas
This one needs a full-page explanation: Noah Thomas in the Round 7 slot, miles early. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
