Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesC+ FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Texans: B-.

The Texans torched the value chart for Le'Veon Moss, taking him 38 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

On value alone, Dixon makes the weekend a net positive. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with running back chief among the fixes.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In Round 1, Pick 32 they get a three-down second-level presence, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick38 Rnd2 Emmanuel Pregnon
Emmanuel Pregnon at slot 38 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick59 Rnd2 Lee Hunter
Lee Hunter slid further than he should have, and pick 59 is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jake Slaughter
Nice patience on Jake Slaughter, who had no business lasting to pick No. 69. The roster fit checks out.
Pick96 Rnd3 Nicholas Singleton
A conviction pick on Nicholas Singleton at the Round 3 slot that the board grades a round light. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick106 Rnd4 Deion Burks
You do not let a wide receiver like Deion Burks reach No. 106 and blink. They did not. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick141 Rnd5 J.C. Davis
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on J.C. Davis. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick167 Rnd5 Albert Regis
A straight-up fair deal on Albert Regis at pick 167, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick170 Rnd5 Le'Veon Moss
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Le'Veon Moss. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick243 Rnd7 Thaddeus Dixon
They barely believed it either: Thaddeus Dixon still on the board at the 243rd pick. It adds depth where they could use a little.
