Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Texans: B-.

The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named edge rusher, a need the Texans walked right past.

Morris has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. On value alone, Slaughter makes the weekend a net positive.

Running back is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Christen Miller
In pick 28 they get a load in the middle at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick38 Rnd2 Jonah Coleman
They paid sticker price for Jonah Coleman in Round 2, Pick 6, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick59 Rnd2 Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter slid further than he should have, and slot 59 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick69 Rnd3 Josiah Trotter
Josiah Trotter in pick No. 69 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick106 Rnd4 Xavier Scott
No drama and no debate, Xavier Scott went about where he belonged in the 106th pick. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick128 Rnd4 Keylan Rutledge
Good price on Keylan Rutledge in No. 128, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick165 Rnd5 Sawyer Robertson
They liked Sawyer Robertson enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 5 slot. It fills a real need, too.
Pick243 Rnd7 Micah Morris
They jumped the gun on Micah Morris, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The roster fit checks out.
Pick244 Rnd7 Jalil Farooq
Jalil Farooq in pick 244 is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
