Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Texans reached some 48 spots for Collin Oliver, and value like that does not grow back. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Woodson.

They left with running back solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In pick 25 they get an anchor for the defensive front. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge at Round 2, Pick 26 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick79 Rnd3 Cameron Williams
Nice patience on Cameron Williams, who had no business lasting to the 79th pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick89 Rnd3 Tai Felton
A reach on Tai Felton in the 89th overall pick; the board had better options right there. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick166 Rnd5 Raheim Sanders
The board had cheaper options than Raheim Sanders at No. 166, and it noticed. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick236 Rnd7 Craig Woodson
Craig Woodson in pick No. 236 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick241 Rnd7 Collin Oliver
Collin Oliver at the 241st overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
