Good, not great, for the Texans: B-.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Texans spent Round 5, Pick 28 on Desmond Watson, a name the board had a full 64 spots lower.

The running back hole is the one line item this class does not answer. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
In No. 25 they get a downhill thumper at linebacker. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Marcus Mbow
They did well to land Marcus Mbow in the 58th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick79 Rnd3 Hollin Pierce
Value said wait; Hollin Pierce in the Round 3 slot says they were not listening. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick89 Rnd3 Savion Williams
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Savion Williams. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick166 Rnd5 Desmond Watson
Desmond Watson at pick No. 166 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick236 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
Cam Jackson at slot 236 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick241 Rnd7 Jalen Travis
They talked themselves into Jalen Travis at slot 241, and the board did not agree. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
