Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans let Smith fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Donovan Smith slide, and the Texans were the ones holding the card at the Round 5 slot. Highway robbery. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

The running back spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In the Round 1 slot they get a difference-maker at receiver at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick41 Rnd2 Jack Sawyer
A quiet steal in pick 41: Jack Sawyer for less than the market said. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick56 Rnd2 Earnest Greene III
No drama and no debate, Earnest Greene III went about where he belonged in Round 2, Pick 24. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick88 Rnd3 Nic Anderson
They read the board right and Nic Anderson was the payoff at the 88th overall pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick120 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
Good price on Malachi Moore in slot 120, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick155 Rnd5 Donovan Smith
You do not let a quarterback like Donovan Smith reach No. 155 and blink. They did not. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
