Draft Grade — Texans
Overall
B
ValueC+
NeedA-
TradesB-
FutureB-
The Texans checked most of the boxes and earned a B. For all the boxes ticked, the Texans skipped the loudest one: wide receiver is exactly as bare as it was.
On the needs board they went 2 of 8, with running back the one that mattered most. They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Omarion Hampton
In the Round 1 slot they get a lead back with juice at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick58
Rnd2
Donovan Jackson
They paid sticker price for Donovan Jackson in pick No. 58, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
