Jaybeast17 DRAFTING FOR THETexans
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Texans
Overall

FutureB-
Some hits, some head-scratchers, and a C for the Texans. The Texans torched the value chart for Robert Spears-Jennings, taking him 156 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.
Roush at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.
The roster is better shaped than it was, with running back chief among the fixes. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.
If Caleb Tiernan and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.
Pick Analysis
Pick28
Rnd1
Caleb Tiernan
Caleb Tiernan at the 28th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick38
Rnd2
Eric Rivers
A big swing on Eric Rivers at the Round 2 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick59
Rnd2
Gracen Halton
Gracen Halton at No. 59 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick69
Rnd3
Keylan Rutledge
They reached a country mile for Keylan Rutledge at pick 69, and the board is aghast. The roster fit checks out.
Pick106
Rnd4
Robert Spears-Jennings
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Robert Spears-Jennings well ahead of where he belonged. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick167
Rnd5
Sam Roush
Sam Roush in the 167th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick243
Rnd7
Terion Stewart
The board fumbled Terion Stewart all the way to pick 243, and they scooped it up. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
