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

The Texans treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending the 241st overall pick on Collin Oliver a full 54 spots early. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. Running back is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Booker
In pick 25 they get protection for the quarterback, reach and all.
Pick58 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
A straight-up fair deal on Alfred Collins at the 58th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick79 Rnd3 Jared Wilson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jared Wilson well ahead of where he belonged. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick89 Rnd3 Jaylin Noel
No drama and no debate, Jaylin Noel went about where he belonged in slot 89. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick166 Rnd5 DJ Giddens
DJ Giddens at Round 5, Pick 28 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick236 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
Isaac TeSlaa at the 236th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick241 Rnd7 Collin Oliver
They talked themselves into Collin Oliver at pick 241, and the board did not agree. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
