Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Texans.

Somehow the biggest item on the list survived the weekend. The Texans never addressed offensive lineman, and it is the kind of gap that lingers. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

They banked enough surplus on Wiggins to cover a lot of smaller sins. The Sinnott reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Nate Wiggins
In the Round 1 slot they get a lockdown presence outside, outstanding value to boot. More want than need.
Pick59 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
They did well to land Chris Braswell in pick No. 59, just ahead of his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick73 Rnd3 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson at the 73rd overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick85 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Michael Hall Jr. at the 85th pick, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick124 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Cole Bishop. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick128 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
They paid up for Ben Sinnott at pick 128 when waiting would have done the job. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick161 Rnd5 Jaylen Wright
Jaylen Wright in slot 161 lands just on the right side of the ledger. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick236 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
Joshua Cephus in Round 7, Pick 16 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick245 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
Good price on Nathaniel Watson in slot 245, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
