Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Texans.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Texans took Sam Hartman a full 44 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

For all the activity, wide receiver went untouched, which is hard to explain. Job largely done: running back settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick49 Rnd2 Jonathon Brooks
Jonathon Brooks at the 49th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick59 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
They paid sticker price for Payton Wilson in pick 59, and that is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick86 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
By-the-book stuff, Jaden Hicks at the Round 3 slot squarely in line with his ranking. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick97 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany in slot 97 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick123 Rnd4 Elijah Jones
A reasonable price with a little left over, Elijah Jones in pick No. 123. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick127 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe at Round 4, Pick 27 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick188 Rnd6 Erick All
They jumped the gun on Erick All, taking him earlier than his grade liked. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick214 Rnd6 Sam Hartman
They reached a country mile for Sam Hartman at pick No. 214, and the board is aghast. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick247 Rnd7 Tarheeb Still
Good price on Tarheeb Still in the 247th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
