yur DRAFTING FOR THETexans

Draft Grade — Texans

FutureB-
The Texans checked most of the boxes and earned a B. The Texans put a flag in the ground for Collin Oliver, 77 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.
A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want. Muhammad at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the running back spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Luther Burden III
In the 25th overall pick they get a No. 1 receiver, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick58
Rnd2
Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins at pick 58 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick89
Rnd3
Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson in No. 89 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick127
Rnd4
Emery Jones Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Emery Jones Jr. at the 127th pick, value and slot in agreement. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick167
Rnd5
Jabbar Muhammad
A slide stopped in slot 167, with Jabbar Muhammad worth more than the price. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick243
Rnd7
Collin Oliver
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Collin Oliver. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
