Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans kept it disciplined and banked a B.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Texans would have aced it. Collin Oliver at pick 236 is 58 spots clear of where he belonged. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. That Golden pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The skill positions did well by the weekend.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In No. 25 they get a go-to option on the outside, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick58 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins in pick No. 58 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick79 Rnd3 Cameron Williams
They read the board right and Cameron Williams was the payoff at the 79th overall pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick89 Rnd3 Charles Grant
Charles Grant in slot 89 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick166 Rnd5 Raheim Sanders
A premium they did not need to pay, Raheim Sanders a notch or two before his time. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick236 Rnd7 Collin Oliver
They left a pile of value on the table to take Collin Oliver this early at Round 7, Pick 20. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick241 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
Isaac TeSlaa in pick 241 is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
