Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Texans, and a B to prove it.

The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named interior defensive lineman, a need the Texans walked right past.

Reaching for Davis left real value on the table behind him. Landing Henderson that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with running back chief among the fixes.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In the 26th pick they get juice off the edge. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Brian Thomas Jr. at the Round 2 slot squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick92 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson at slot 92 is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick117 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
Good price on Brenden Rice in pick 117, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick126 Rnd4 Ray Davis
Ray Davis in pick No. 126 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
