Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureC
The Texans worked the phones like thieves and earned a B+.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Texans spent pick 179 on Carson Vinson, a name most had 55 spots down the list.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. The Ayomanor pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with running back the one that mattered most.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In pick No. 12 they get an anchor for the defensive front at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick58 Rnd2 Cameron Williams
A conviction pick on Cameron Williams at No. 58 that the board grades a round light. The roster fit checks out.
Pick76 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
Nice patience on Quinshon Judkins, who had no business lasting to the 76th overall pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick79 Rnd3 Elic Ayomanor
Elic Ayomanor at the 79th pick is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick149 Rnd5 Hollin Pierce
Hollin Pierce is a better player than slot 149 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
Pick174 Rnd5 Nazir Stackhouse
Nazir Stackhouse at the Round 5 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick179 Rnd6 Carson Vinson
Carson Vinson at pick No. 179 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
