Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

There is reaching, and then there is Zion Logue at Round 6, Pick 13. The Texans jumped the board by 98 and dared it to prove them wrong. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Thomas Jr.. Leaving running back unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the running back spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick42 Rnd2 Nate Wiggins
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Nate Wiggins in Round 2, Pick 10, plain and simple. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick59 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
Brian Thomas Jr. at pick No. 59 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick86 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie in the 86th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It fills a real need, too.
Pick123 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Tommy Eichenberg well ahead of where he belonged. The roster fit checks out.
Pick127 Rnd4 Jared Wiley
Jared Wiley in No. 127 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick188 Rnd6 Zion Logue
They talked themselves into Zion Logue at the Round 6 slot, and the board did not agree. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick247 Rnd7 Josh Proctor
By-the-book stuff, Josh Proctor at the 247th pick squarely in line with his ranking. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
