jaytex DRAFTING FOR THETexans
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Texans
Overall

FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Texans. The rest of the league had time to spare on Hollin Pierce; the Texans did not wait, grabbing him 61 spots ahead at the 79th overall pick. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. The roster is better shaped than it was, with running back chief among the fixes.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Emeka Egbuka
In slot 25 they get a matchup problem out wide. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick58
Rnd2
Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins in the 58th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick79
Rnd3
Hollin Pierce
A real head-scratcher, Hollin Pierce in pick 79 is miles ahead of his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick89
Rnd3
Emery Jones Jr.
They reached into another round for Emery Jones Jr., and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick166
Rnd5
DJ Giddens
DJ Giddens at Round 5, Pick 28 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick236
Rnd7
Carson Vinson
They took Carson Vinson at par in pick No. 236, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick241
Rnd7
Isaac TeSlaa
Isaac TeSlaa at the 241st pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
