Romega74 DRAFTING FOR THETexans

Draft Grade — Texans

Hunter 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 Lee Hunter slide 47 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.
Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Moss reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.
They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.
Pick Analysis
Pick28
Rnd1
Kenyon Sadiq
In pick No. 28 they get a matchup weapon at tight end, and a steal at that.
Pick38
Rnd2
Emmanuel Pregnon
Emmanuel Pregnon in the 38th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick59
Rnd2
Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter at slot 59 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick69
Rnd3
Gennings Dunker
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Gennings Dunker at pick 69 is the proof. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick106
Rnd4
Lee Hunter
Somehow Lee Hunter was still sitting there in Round 4, Pick 6, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick128
Rnd4
Eli Raridon
By-the-book stuff, Eli Raridon at the Round 4 slot squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick165
Rnd5
Le'Veon Moss
Le'Veon Moss at No. 165 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick243
Rnd7
Joey Aguilar
Joey Aguilar slid further than he should have, and the 243rd pick is lovely value for the quarterback. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick244
Rnd7
Shamar Easter
Shamar Easter at slot 244 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
