Draft Grade — Texans
Overall C+
ValueC- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans land in the muddy middle: C+.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Texans shredded theirs for Red Murdock. He came off 56 spots early, and the room will hear about it.

They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it. They left with running back solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Not a disaster, not a triumph, just a middling class.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Emmanuel Pregnon
In the Round 1 slot they get a cornerstone up front, though they paid up to get him.
Pick38 Rnd2 Caleb Banks
A straight-up fair deal on Caleb Banks at pick 38, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick59 Rnd2 Connor Lew
They reached a country mile for Connor Lew at pick No. 59, and the board is aghast. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick69 Rnd3 Nicholas Singleton
Value said wait; Nicholas Singleton in the 69th pick says they were not listening. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick106 Rnd4 J.C. Davis
J.C. Davis at slot 106 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The roster fit checks out.
Pick141 Rnd5 Red Murdock
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Red Murdock. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick167 Rnd5 Ephesians Prysock
They talked themselves into Ephesians Prysock at slot 167, and the board did not agree. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick243 Rnd7 Josh Cuevas
A conviction pick on Josh Cuevas at pick No. 243 that the board grades a round light. It fills a real need, too.
