Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B

The steal of the weekend belongs to the Texans and Muhammad III: B.

You could see the war room lean forward. Moose Muhammad III at pick No. 238 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Every board in the league had Wilson lower, and that gap is the story. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In pick No. 28 they get a premier pass rusher at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
No edge and no loss on Brian Thomas Jr. in the 49th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick90 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
Somehow Malachi Corley was still sitting there in the Round 3 slot, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick117 Rnd4 Beau Brade
They did well to land Beau Brade in slot 117, just ahead of his grade. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick128 Rnd4 Payton Wilson
A reach for Payton Wilson in Round 4, Pick 28; a little patience would have been rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick154 Rnd5 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott at the 154th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick234 Rnd7 Reuben Fatheree II
Reuben Fatheree II in pick 234 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick238 Rnd7 Moose Muhammad III
Moose Muhammad III in No. 238 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
