Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Texans.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Collin Oliver at pick 236, a reach of 54 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

That Henderson pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

Job largely done: running back settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In slot 25 they get an anchor for the defensive front. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Cameron Williams
They paid up for Cameron Williams at pick 58 when waiting would have done the job. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick79 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
They robbed the room for TreVeyon Henderson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick89 Rnd3 Jared Wilson
A reach for Jared Wilson in the 89th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick166 Rnd5 KeAndre Lambert-Smith
A wild overpay on KeAndre Lambert-Smith in the 166th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick236 Rnd7 Collin Oliver
Collin Oliver in the Round 7 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick241 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
A real head-scratcher, Hayden Conner in Round 7, Pick 25 is miles ahead of his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
