TexanToro DRAFTING FOR THETexans
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Texans
Overall

FutureB-
The Texans did enough to get by: C+. If confidence were a draft strategy, the Texans would have aced it. Tommy Eichenberg at slot 58 is 68 spots clear of where he belonged. A weekend of give and take that grades a C+.
The running back hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.
It nets out as a middle-of-the-pack haul that neither helps nor hurts much.
Pick Analysis
Pick23
Rnd1
Kris Jenkins
In the Round 1 slot they get a problem off the edge, though the board says they badly overpaid. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick58
Rnd2
Tommy Eichenberg
They left a pile of value on the table to take Tommy Eichenberg this early at No. 58. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick90
Rnd3
Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter in pick No. 90 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick123
Rnd4
Jaheim Bell
A reach for Jaheim Bell in slot 123; a little patience would have been rewarded. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick126
Rnd4
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint at Round 4, Pick 26 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick163
Rnd5
Nathan Thomas
A premium they did not need to pay, Nathan Thomas a notch or two before his time. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick239
Rnd7
Ja'Had Carter
Ja'Had Carter in slot 239 is fair value, right on his grade. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick247
Rnd7
Al Blades Jr.
Al Blades Jr. at the 247th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A minor itch, scratched.
