Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Texans: B-.

There is reaching, and then there is Phillip Webb at pick No. 241. The Texans jumped the board by 110 and dared it to prove them wrong.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the Round 1 slot they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick58 Rnd2 Cameron Williams
A conviction pick on Cameron Williams at slot 58 that the board grades a round light. The roster fit checks out.
Pick79 Rnd3 Isaiah Bond
Isaiah Bond in Round 3, Pick 15 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick89 Rnd3 Jared Wilson
They jumped the gun on Jared Wilson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick166 Rnd5 DJ Giddens
They took DJ Giddens at par in the 166th pick, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick236 Rnd7 Theo Wease Jr.
Theo Wease Jr. at pick No. 236 is a conviction pick that outran the value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick241 Rnd7 Phillip Webb
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Phillip Webb well ahead of where he belonged. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
