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

For all the boxes ticked, the Texans skipped the loudest one: running back is exactly as bare as it was. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

The Ayomanor pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. Crawshaw has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 3 of 8 of the wish list covered. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Grey Zabel
In slot 25 they get a building block for the line, even if it was a touch early.
Pick58 Rnd2 Harold Fannin Jr.
Harold Fannin Jr. at Round 2, Pick 26 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick79 Rnd3 Elic Ayomanor
Nice patience on Elic Ayomanor, who had no business lasting to the Round 3 slot. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick89 Rnd3 Zy Alexander
Zy Alexander in pick 89 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick166 Rnd5 Ryan Fitzgerald
They took Ryan Fitzgerald at par in No. 166, which is nothing to complain about. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick236 Rnd7 Ja'Corey Brooks
Ja'Corey Brooks in pick No. 236 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick241 Rnd7 Jeremy Crawshaw
A conviction pick on Jeremy Crawshaw at the 241st pick that the board grades a round light. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
