Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans robbed the room for Green. Final grade: B-.

The Texans spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Taylen Green, the No. 189 name on the board, in slot 233. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

The cost of the Moore reach is exactly the players who went right after him. Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick37 Rnd2 Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter in No. 37 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick38 Rnd2 Sonny Styles
A straight-up fair deal on Sonny Styles at the Round 2 slot, value and slot in agreement. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick48 Rnd2 Olaivavega Ioane
Olaivavega Ioane at pick 48 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick49 Rnd2 Jonah Coleman
Jonah Coleman in slot 49 is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick68 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
They paid a round early for Eli Stowers in the 68th overall pick, more than the board wanted. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick107 Rnd4 A.J. Haulcy
A.J. Haulcy in pick No. 107 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick117 Rnd4 Derrick Moore
Derrick Moore at Round 4, Pick 17 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick158 Rnd5 Bray Hubbard
Bray Hubbard at the 158th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick233 Rnd7 Taylen Green
A top-tier quarterback at a bargain, Taylen Green in the Round 7 slot, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick239 Rnd7 De'Zhaun Stribling
They took De'Zhaun Stribling at par in the 239th pick, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
