Lostboyrufio DRAFTING FOR THETexans
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Texans
Overall
B-
ValueB-
NeedB
TradesB-
FutureB-
The Texans kept it disciplined and banked a B-. They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Drew Shelton, 28 picks early at No. 59. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.
The Wilson pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick28
Rnd1
Olaivavega Ioane
In the 28th pick they get protection for the quarterback. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick38
Rnd2
Christen Miller
They took Christen Miller at par in No. 38, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick59
Rnd2
Drew Shelton
A real head-scratcher, Drew Shelton in Round 2, Pick 27 is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick69
Rnd3
Jonah Coleman
They paid sticker price for Jonah Coleman in slot 69, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick106
Rnd4
Treydan Stukes
A tidy bit of business in the Round 4 slot, where Treydan Stukes graded well above the range. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick128
Rnd4
Logan Jones
No edge and no loss on Logan Jones in pick No. 128; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick165
Rnd5
Reggie Virgil
Reggie Virgil at the Round 5 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick243
Rnd7
Noah Whittington
Noah Whittington slid further than he should have, and pick No. 243 is lovely value for the running back. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick244
Rnd7
Raylen Wilson
Circle this one: Raylen Wilson at No. 244 is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
