Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B+
ValueA NeedB TradesB FutureB
The Texans did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B+.

Some picks age like wine; Tyreak Sapp at slot 195 will need to, sitting 79 spots clear of his grade. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B+.

The Singleton pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. The roster is better shaped than it was, with running back chief among the fixes.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Mason Graham
The board fumbled Mason Graham all the way to the 28th pick, and they scooped it up. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick62 Rnd2 Dylan Fairchild
Nothing to complain about; Dylan Fairchild went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick86 Rnd3 Tyler Warren
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Tyler Warren in slot 86, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick97 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Somehow Andrew Mukuba was still sitting there in pick No. 97, and they pounced on premier safety value. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick122 Rnd4 Jake Majors
Jake Majors in Round 4, Pick 21 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick138 Rnd5 Tez Johnson
Circle this one: Tez Johnson at the Round 5 slot is a fall that decides a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick164 Rnd5 Nicholas Singleton
You do not let a running back like Nicholas Singleton reach slot 164 and blink. They did not. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick190 Rnd6 Cody Simon
They barely believed it either: Cody Simon still on the board at pick 190. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick195 Rnd6 Tyreak Sapp
A real head-scratcher, Tyreak Sapp in the 195th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick239 Rnd7 Davison Igbinosun
A cornerback of that caliber at the Round 7 slot is the definition of value, full stop. It adds depth where they could use a little.
