Dlynch732 DRAFTING FOR THETexans
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Texans
Overall

FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Texans. The Texans treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending pick 54 on Austin Barber a full 35 spots early. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.
A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. However the rest shakes out, Weeks at that price is a win they earned.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.
Pick Analysis
Pick23
Rnd1
Christen Miller
In No. 23 they get a wrecking ball inside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick39
Rnd2
Jonah Coleman
They paid a round early for Jonah Coleman in the 39th overall pick, more than the board wanted. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick54
Rnd2
Austin Barber
Austin Barber at pick No. 54 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick65
Rnd3
Brian Parker II
Brian Parker II at pick 65 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick107
Rnd4
Whit Weeks
Whit Weeks slipping to slot 107 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick122
Rnd4
Deion Burks
Deion Burks in the 122nd pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick162
Rnd5
Connor Tollison
A reach on Connor Tollison in No. 162; the board had better options right there. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
