Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Texans.

Nobody else had Jared Wiley anywhere near the 128th overall pick. The Texans did, by 72 spots, and that gap is the whole story. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

Wilson falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In slot 23 they get a double-digit-sack hope, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick44 Rnd2 Terrion Arnold
The board fumbled Terrion Arnold all the way to the 44th overall pick, and they scooped it up. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick86 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
Roman Wilson at the Round 3 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick124 Rnd4 James Williams
James Williams in Round 4, Pick 24 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick128 Rnd4 Jared Wiley
A wild overpay on Jared Wiley in the 128th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick236 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. at No. 236 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick245 Rnd7 Edefuan Ulofoshio
They took Edefuan Ulofoshio at par in slot 245, which is nothing to complain about. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick250 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
A straight-up fair deal on Joshua Cephus at the 250th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
