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

The rest of the league had time to spare on Garrett Dellinger; the Texans did not wait, grabbing him 62 spots ahead at the Round 7 slot.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They left with running back solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
They took Emeka Egbuka at par in slot 25, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick58 Rnd2 Omarr Norman-Lott
Omarr Norman-Lott in No. 58 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick79 Rnd3 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson at pick 79 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick89 Rnd3 Charles Grant
Charles Grant in pick No. 89 is fair value, right on his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick166 Rnd5 DJ Giddens
They paid a round early for DJ Giddens in the 166th pick, more than the board wanted. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick236 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
Garrett Dellinger in the 236th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick241 Rnd7 Collin Oliver
A wild overpay on Collin Oliver in the 241st overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
