Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesA FutureB
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Texans: B.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Le'Veon Moss in the 167th pick, a good 35 spots before the room expected him. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

Landing Hall that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Olaivavega Ioane
In slot 29 they get a building block for the line at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Christen Miller
By-the-book stuff, Christen Miller at the Round 2 slot squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick59 Rnd2 Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter at the 59th pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jonah Coleman
A straight-up fair deal on Jonah Coleman at the 69th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick106 Rnd4 Jude Bowry
They went early on Jude Bowry in pick No. 106, and the value did not follow. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick167 Rnd5 Le'Veon Moss
Le'Veon Moss at Round 5, Pick 27 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick243 Rnd7 TJ Hall
The board fumbled TJ Hall all the way to slot 243, and they scooped it up. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
