Draft Grade — Texans
Overall
D-
ValueC
NeedB+
TradesF
FutureB-
The Texans lost the trade table, and the D- tells the story. The Texans put a flag in the ground for Deion Burks, 64 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. Put together, it is a D-.
They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.
If one pick saves this weekend, it is Milum.
It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.
Pick Analysis
Pick31
Rnd1
Landon Jackson
In Round 1, Pick 31 they get a double-digit-sack hope. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick61
Rnd2
Wyatt Milum
They barely believed it either: Wyatt Milum still on the board at No. 61. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick62
Rnd2
Colston Loveland
Colston Loveland at the 62nd pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick64
Rnd2
TreVeyon Henderson
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on TreVeyon Henderson. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick93
Rnd3
Tacario Davis
They took Tacario Davis at par in pick 93, which is nothing to complain about. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick94
Rnd3
Danny Stutsman
No edge and no loss on Danny Stutsman in the Round 3 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick97
Rnd3
Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom in the Round 3 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick130
Rnd4
Deion Burks
A wild overpay on Deion Burks in No. 130, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick136
Rnd4
Mykel Williams
They reached a country mile for Mykel Williams at pick No. 136, and the board is aghast. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick162
Rnd5
T.J. Sanders
A big swing on T.J. Sanders at slot 162, well ahead of any board in the building. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick243
Rnd7
Tory Horton
Value said wait; Tory Horton in Round 7, Pick 29 says they were not listening. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
