Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB- TradesA+ FutureD
Stowers should have been long gone. The Texans pounced, and earned a B.

The board owed the Texans one, and it paid up: Eli Stowers, the No. 56 name on the board, sitting there at the 106th pick like a gift left on the doorstep.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. They will need Moore to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In the Round 1 slot they get a green-dot type in the middle, outstanding value to boot.
Pick38 Rnd2 Peter Woods
Peter Woods slipping to the 38th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick63 Rnd2 CJ Allen
Circle this one: CJ Allen at Round 2, Pick 31 is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick69 Rnd3 Blake Miller
Somehow Blake Miller was still sitting there in slot 69, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick106 Rnd4 Eli Stowers
Eli Stowers at pick No. 106 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick107 Rnd4 Keylan Rutledge
Keylan Rutledge in pick 107 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick108 Rnd4 Connor Lew
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Connor Lew in No. 108, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick127 Rnd4 De'Zhaun Stribling
Taking De'Zhaun Stribling in the 127th pick is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick138 Rnd4 Charles Demmings
They paid a round early for Charles Demmings in slot 138, more than the board wanted. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick139 Rnd4 Louis Moore
A real head-scratcher, Louis Moore in pick 139 is miles ahead of his ranking. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick243 Rnd7 Jadon Canady
Jadon Canady at No. 243 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
