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

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Zachariah Branch got past him. The Texans do not have to explain a thing at Round 4, Pick 6. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

They will regret leaving running back for another day if the season turns on it. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

They trusted the board more than the depth chart.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Kenyon Sadiq
In the 28th overall pick they get a security blanket over the middle, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick38 Rnd2 Colton Hood
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Colton Hood in Round 2, Pick 6. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick59 Rnd2 CJ Allen
Taking CJ Allen in the 59th pick is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick69 Rnd3 Emmanuel Pregnon
They barely believed it either: Emmanuel Pregnon still on the board at the Round 3 slot. It fills a real need, too.
Pick106 Rnd4 Zachariah Branch
They will replay Zachariah Branch at pick No. 106 for years; that is how good the value is. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick141 Rnd5 Trey Zuhn III
Trey Zuhn III at pick 141 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. The roster fit checks out.
Pick167 Rnd5 Tim Keenan III
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Tim Keenan III at slot 167 is the proof. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick243 Rnd7 Zavion Thomas
Zavion Thomas at No. 243 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
