Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Nelson should have been long gone. The Texans pounced, and earned a B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Texans watched Malachi Nelson slide 34 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. They are betting Hallman proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

Job largely done: running back settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In pick 11 they get an every-down engine for the run game. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick42 Rnd2 Kenyon Sadiq
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 42, where Kenyon Sadiq graded well above the range. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick50 Rnd2 Nyck Harbor
A slide stopped in the 50th overall pick, with Nyck Harbor worth more than the price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick70 Rnd3 Dillon Thieneman
Nice patience on Dillon Thieneman, who had no business lasting to the 70th pick. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick112 Rnd4 Kaytron Allen
They let Kaytron Allen come to them and pounced at the Round 4 slot. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick118 Rnd4 Monroe Freeling
Monroe Freeling at slot 118 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick150 Rnd5 David Oke
No edge and no loss on David Oke in Round 5, Pick 11; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick227 Rnd7 Ricardo Hallman
A reach for Ricardo Hallman in No. 227; a little patience would have been rewarded. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick248 Rnd7 Malachi Nelson
A top-tier quarterback at a bargain, Malachi Nelson in the Round 7 slot, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
