Draft Grade — Texans
Overall

FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Texans a B-. You can draft well and still miss the point. The Texans did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to wide receiver, which was the need that mattered most. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.
They are betting Ratledge proves the room right and everyone else wrong. Running back is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Omarion Hampton
In the 25th overall pick they get a centerpiece for the ground game. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick58
Rnd2
Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge in Round 2, Pick 26 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The roster fit checks out.
