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

The tape said wait; the Texans did not. Wesley Williams went at pick No. 238, a good 77 picks before the board was ready.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Fuller value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss. They left with running back solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In No. 28 they get a downhill thumper at linebacker. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Emmanuel Pregnon
Emmanuel Pregnon in slot 38 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick62 Rnd2 Eli Stowers
Eli Stowers in pick No. 62 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick69 Rnd3 Omar Cooper Jr.
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Omar Cooper Jr. in the 69th overall pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick106 Rnd4 Tacario Davis
They did well to land Tacario Davis in the Round 4 slot, just ahead of his grade. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick128 Rnd4 Logan Jones
Logan Jones at the 128th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick130 Rnd4 Beau Stephens
Beau Stephens in pick 130 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick165 Rnd5 J'Mari Taylor
No drama and no debate, J'Mari Taylor went about where he belonged in the 165th overall pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick166 Rnd5 Kaleb Proctor
A straight-up fair deal on Kaleb Proctor at the Round 5 slot, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick182 Rnd6 Ted Hurst
A clean, defensible pick in the 182nd pick with a little surplus value in Ted Hurst. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick238 Rnd7 Wesley Williams
A big swing on Wesley Williams at Round 7, Pick 22, well ahead of any board in the building. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick243 Rnd7 DJ Harvey
Nice patience on DJ Harvey, who had no business lasting to pick No. 243. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick244 Rnd7 Eli Heidenreich
By-the-book stuff, Eli Heidenreich at No. 244 squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick251 Rnd7 Andre Fuller
They let Andre Fuller come to them and pounced at slot 251. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick255 Rnd7 Alan Herron
Alan Herron at pick 255 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
