Draft Grade — Texans
Overall C
ValueF NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Texans for Williams: C.

The Texans did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Antonio Williams fell into slot 243.

The Wagner reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Hit on Aamil Wagner and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Aamil Wagner
In pick No. 28 they get protection for the quarterback, a steep price for the projection. A real need, handled.
Pick38 Rnd2 Christen Miller
This one needs a full-page explanation: Christen Miller in Round 2, Pick 6, miles early. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick59 Rnd2 Olaivavega Ioane
Taking Olaivavega Ioane in slot 59 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick69 Rnd3 Seth McGowan
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Seth McGowan well ahead of where he belonged. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick106 Rnd4 Bishop Fitzgerald
A wild overpay on Bishop Fitzgerald in the Round 4 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick141 Rnd5 Pat Coogan
They reached a country mile for Pat Coogan at pick 141, and the board is aghast. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick167 Rnd5 Keith Abney II
Keith Abney II in the 167th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick243 Rnd7 Antonio Williams
They will replay Antonio Williams at the 243rd pick for years; that is how good the value is. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
