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

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Vernon Broughton in pick No. 166, a good 22 spots before the room expected him. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. On value alone, Mickens makes the weekend a net positive.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In No. 25 they get a true top target. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Kaleb Johnson
Kaleb Johnson at pick No. 58 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick79 Rnd3 Cameron Williams
A quiet steal in pick 79: Cameron Williams for less than the market said. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick89 Rnd3 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson at Round 3, Pick 25 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The roster fit checks out.
Pick166 Rnd5 Vernon Broughton
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Vernon Broughton. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick236 Rnd7 R.J. Mickens
R.J. Mickens is a better player than the 236th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick241 Rnd7 Jackson Hawes
Jackson Hawes in pick 241 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
