Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans let Holker fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Dallin Holker tumbling to the Texans in slot 188 is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The cost of the Tupuola-Fetui reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

Running back was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick42 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat in the Round 2 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick59 Rnd2 Junior Colson
Nothing to complain about; Junior Colson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick86 Rnd3 Javon Baker
No edge and no loss on Javon Baker in slot 86; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick123 Rnd4 Josh Newton
Josh Newton at Round 4, Pick 23 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick127 Rnd4 Javon Foster
Nice patience on Javon Foster, who had no business lasting to pick 127. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick188 Rnd6 Dallin Holker
Somehow Dallin Holker was still sitting there in No. 188, and they pounced on premier tight end value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick205 Rnd6 Zion Tupuola-Fetui
Zion Tupuola-Fetui in the 205th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick247 Rnd7 Kimani Vidal
By-the-book stuff, Kimani Vidal at the 247th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
