Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Texans: B.

Some picks age like wine; Jared Wilson at pick No. 79 will need to, sitting 23 spots clear of his grade.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up. On value alone, Ratledge makes the weekend a net positive.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
In the 25th pick they get a blindside protector at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick58 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson in pick 58 lands just on the right side of the ledger. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick79 Rnd3 Jared Wilson
A big swing on Jared Wilson at the 79th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick89 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
The board fumbled Tate Ratledge all the way to the Round 3 slot, and they scooped it up. It fills a real need, too.
