Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Texans: B.

For all the boxes ticked, the Texans skipped the loudest one: wide receiver is exactly as bare as it was.

They banked enough surplus on Banks Jr. to cover a lot of smaller sins. Running back is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
In slot 25 they get an anchor for the offensive line at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick58 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins at pick 58 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick79 Rnd3 Devin Neal
Devin Neal in pick No. 79 is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick89 Rnd3 Jared Ivey
They let Jared Ivey come to them and pounced at the 89th overall pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
