Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Texans and Davis: B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Tacario Davis, the 41st overall pick, roughly 22 picks past where he belonged.

That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Moore has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.

They left with running back solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Ollie Gordon II
In the 31st overall pick they get a centerpiece for the ground game. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tacario Davis
The board fumbled Tacario Davis all the way to the Round 2 slot, and they scooped it up. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick56 Rnd2 Barrett Carter
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 56, where Barrett Carter graded well above the range. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick88 Rnd3 Nic Anderson
Nic Anderson at No. 88 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick90 Rnd3 Derrick Moore
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Derrick Moore well ahead of where he belonged. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick95 Rnd3 Wyatt Milum
Wyatt Milum in slot 95 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick120 Rnd4 Nick Emmanwori
A straight-up fair deal on Nick Emmanwori at the 120th pick, value and slot in agreement. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick155 Rnd5 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins at pick 155 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick216 Rnd7 Kaidon Salter
Nice patience on Kaidon Salter, who had no business lasting to No. 216. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
