Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB FutureB-
The Texans kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: J. Michael Sturdivant in No. 128, a good 89 spots before the room expected him. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

That running back hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In the 30th overall pick they get a three-down second-level presence. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Emmanuel Pregnon
A straight-up fair deal on Emmanuel Pregnon at pick No. 38, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick60 Rnd2 Keylan Rutledge
This one needs a full-page explanation: Keylan Rutledge in the 60th pick, miles early. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick69 Rnd3 Connor Lew
No drama and no debate, Connor Lew went about where he belonged in the Round 3 slot. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick94 Rnd3 Darrell Jackson Jr.
Darrell Jackson Jr. at No. 94 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick106 Rnd4 DeMonte Capehart
DeMonte Capehart in pick 106 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick126 Rnd4 Davison Igbinosun
They left a pile of value on the table to take Davison Igbinosun this early at Round 4, Pick 26. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick128 Rnd4 J. Michael Sturdivant
J. Michael Sturdivant at No. 128 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick165 Rnd5 Barion Brown
Barion Brown in the 165th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick228 Rnd7 Haynes King
Haynes King in pick No. 228 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It fills a real need, too.
Pick243 Rnd7 Micah Morris
By-the-book stuff, Micah Morris at the Round 7 slot squarely in line with his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick244 Rnd7 Luke Hasz
Luke Hasz in slot 244 is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick246 Rnd7 Noah Thomas
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Noah Thomas well ahead of where he belonged. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
