Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans won the night they stopped Dixon from sliding. Grade: B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Thaddeus Dixon, the No. 182 name on the board, stolen at the Round 7 slot.

Bowry has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

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 quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Olaivavega Ioane
In slot 28 they get a blindside protector. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Makai Lemon
Circle this one: Makai Lemon at pick 38 is a fall that decides a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick59 Rnd2 Will Lee III
They did well to land Will Lee III in Round 2, Pick 27, just ahead of his grade. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jude Bowry
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jude Bowry in the 69th overall pick, miles early. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick106 Rnd4 Parker Brailsford
A reach on Parker Brailsford in the 106th pick; the board had better options right there. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick128 Rnd4 Emmett Johnson
The board fumbled Emmett Johnson all the way to No. 128, and they scooped it up. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick165 Rnd5 Rayshaun Benny
They liked Rayshaun Benny enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 5 slot. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick243 Rnd7 Trey Moore
A edge rusher of that caliber at pick No. 243 is the definition of value, full stop. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick244 Rnd7 Thaddeus Dixon
Somehow Thaddeus Dixon was still sitting there in the 244th pick, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
