Draft Grade — Texans

Grand theft in pick No. 241: the Texans steal Hunter and grade out a B.

The Texans did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Jarquez Hunter fell into slot 241. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

If Webb pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with running back chief among the fixes. The skill positions did well by the weekend.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In the 25th overall pick they get a matchup problem out wide at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick58 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
They went early on Tate Ratledge in slot 58, and the value did not follow. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick79 Rnd3 Deone Walker
No drama and no debate, Deone Walker went about where he belonged in No. 79. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick89 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson in the 89th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick166 Rnd5 Clay Webb
Clay Webb at pick No. 166 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick236 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
No edge and no loss on Isaac TeSlaa in pick 236; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick241 Rnd7 Jarquez Hunter
Jarquez Hunter at the Round 7 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
