Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Texans a B-.

The Texans did not so much draft Collin Oliver as overpay for him, 53 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Collins. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

Running back is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In pick 25 they get a true top target. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick58 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
They paid up for Tate Ratledge at pick No. 58 when waiting would have done the job. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick79 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
Circle this one: Alfred Collins at the 79th pick is a fall that decides a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick89 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins in the 89th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick166 Rnd5 Chase Lundt
A straight-up fair deal on Chase Lundt at the Round 5 slot, value and slot in agreement. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick236 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
They paid sticker price for Isaac TeSlaa in slot 236, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick241 Rnd7 Collin Oliver
They left a pile of value on the table to take Collin Oliver this early at Round 7, Pick 25. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
