Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Texans, and a B to prove it.

The Texans put a flag in the ground for Nazir Stackhouse, 32 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Burden III pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In No. 31 they get a matchup problem out wide at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick33 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
No edge and no loss on Tyler Booker in slot 33; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick79 Rnd3 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson in pick No. 79 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The roster fit checks out.
Pick89 Rnd3 Gunnar Helm
Gunnar Helm at the 89th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick129 Rnd4 Trevor Etienne
They left a pile of value on the table to take Trevor Etienne this early at pick 129. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick136 Rnd4 Jonas Sanker
Nothing to complain about; Jonas Sanker went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick166 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
A swing that ignored the value entirely, JJ Pegues well ahead of where he belonged. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick176 Rnd5 Nazir Stackhouse
A big swing on Nazir Stackhouse at pick 176, well ahead of any board in the building. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick183 Rnd6 Quincy Riley
A tidy little value on Quincy Riley in the 183rd overall pick, a step better than break-even. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick184 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
No drama and no debate, Dont'e Thornton Jr. went about where he belonged in slot 184. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
