Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Texans: B-.

The Texans put a flag in the ground for Quinten Joyner, 35 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

That Slaughter pick is the receipt they will wave around later. That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with running back the one that mattered most.

Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Olaivavega Ioane
In slot 28 they get protection for the quarterback. A real need, handled.
Pick38 Rnd2 Christen Miller
Christen Miller at pick No. 38 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick59 Rnd2 Jake Slaughter
A slide stopped in Round 2, Pick 27, with Jake Slaughter worth more than the price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick69 Rnd3 Lee Hunter
Nice patience on Lee Hunter, who had no business lasting to the 69th pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick106 Rnd4 Kaytron Allen
A clean, defensible pick in the 106th overall pick with a little surplus value in Kaytron Allen. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick128 Rnd4 Keylan Rutledge
Nothing to complain about; Keylan Rutledge went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick165 Rnd5 Quinten Joyner
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Quinten Joyner well ahead of where he belonged. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick243 Rnd7 Ricardo Hallman
No edge and no loss on Ricardo Hallman in the 243rd overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick244 Rnd7 Haynes King
A straight-up fair deal on Haynes King at pick 244, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
