Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesA- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Texans: B.

There is reaching, and then there is Eric Gentry at pick 252. The Texans jumped the board by 89 and dared it to prove them wrong.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. The Love pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The veteran additions, Jeffery Simmons chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In the 24th pick they get a lead back with juice, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
Anthony Hill Jr. at slot 39 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick54 Rnd2 Jake Slaughter
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jake Slaughter at No. 54. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick55 Rnd2 Connor Lew
Value with a capital V on Connor Lew in the Round 2 slot, a genuine coup. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick67 Rnd3 Dillon Thieneman
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Dillon Thieneman in Round 3, Pick 3. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick85 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
A clean, defensible pick in the 85th overall pick with a little surplus value in Eli Stowers. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick113 Rnd4 Zachariah Branch
They took Zachariah Branch at par in pick No. 113, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick115 Rnd4 Derrick Moore
Derrick Moore in No. 115 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick154 Rnd5 Rayshaun Benny
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Rayshaun Benny well ahead of where he belonged. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick174 Rnd5 Xavier Nwankpa
Xavier Nwankpa at the Round 5 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick229 Rnd7 Fernando Carmona
Fernando Carmona at the 229th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The roster fit checks out.
Pick232 Rnd7 James Williams Sr.
Value said wait; James Williams Sr. in pick 232 says they were not listening. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick252 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
Eric Gentry in Round 7, Pick 38 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
