Boke DRAFTING FOR THETexans
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Texans
Overall
B
ValueB
NeedB+
TradesB-
FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Texans a B. The Texans clearly saw something nobody else did in Grayson Murphy, taking him 45 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. The bottom line is a respectable B.
That Legette pick is the receipt they will wave around later. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.
They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick23
Rnd1
Amarius Mims
In pick No. 23 they get an anchor for the offensive line. A real need, handled.
Pick59
Rnd2
Xavier Legette
They will replay Xavier Legette at slot 59 for years; that is how good the value is. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick85
Rnd3
Tyler Davis
A conviction pick on Tyler Davis at the 85th overall pick that the board grades a round light. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick123
Rnd4
Grayson Murphy
A real head-scratcher, Grayson Murphy in No. 123 is miles ahead of his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick127
Rnd4
DJ James
DJ James at Round 4, Pick 27 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick164
Rnd5
Jaylen Wright
A tidy little value on Jaylen Wright in pick 164, a step better than break-even. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
