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

The Texans' one glaring miss is wide receiver, a need they left exactly as they found it. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

They will need Gulbin to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. Running back is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Akheem Mesidor
In the Round 1 slot they get a double-digit-sack hope, though they paid up to get him. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick38 Rnd2 Emmanuel Pregnon
By-the-book stuff, Emmanuel Pregnon at Round 2, Pick 6 squarely in line with his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick59 Rnd2 Christen Miller
Christen Miller at the 59th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jonah Coleman
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jonah Coleman in No. 69. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick106 Rnd4 Emmett Johnson
Emmett Johnson at slot 106 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick141 Rnd5 J.C. Davis
J.C. Davis at the 141st pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick167 Rnd5 Matt Gulbin
A reach on Matt Gulbin in pick 167; the board had better options right there. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick243 Rnd7 Jack Kelly
A reach for Jack Kelly in pick No. 243; a little patience would have been rewarded. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
