Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesD- FutureA-
Grand theft in the Round 7 slot: the Texans steal Stout and grade out a B-.

You build a draft on nights like this. Upton Stout had no business being available in the 232nd pick, and the Texans did the only sane thing and turned in the card. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

They are betting Stackhouse proves the room right and everyone else wrong. Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick58 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at No. 58 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick68 Rnd3 Tre Harris
Taking Tre Harris in the 68th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick79 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson
Kaleb Johnson at slot 79 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick88 Rnd3 Chris Paul Jr.
Chris Paul Jr. in pick 88 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick126 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
Steal is underselling it; Cam Skattebo at the Round 4 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick166 Rnd5 Nazir Stackhouse
Nazir Stackhouse at pick No. 166 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick169 Rnd5 Luke Kandra
They will replay Luke Kandra at the 169th pick for years; that is how good the value is. The roster fit checks out.
Pick171 Rnd5 Pat Bryant
Pat Bryant in Round 5, Pick 33 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick232 Rnd7 Upton Stout
Circle this one: Upton Stout at the 232nd pick is a fall that decides a draft. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
