Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB FutureC+
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Texans and Watts: B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Xavier Watts slide, and the Texans were the ones holding the card at slot 79. Highway robbery.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. The Pegues reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
They took Tyler Booker at par in pick No. 33, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick58 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
Steal is underselling it; Emeka Egbuka at slot 58 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick67 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
The board had TreVeyon Henderson higher than the 67th overall pick, and the running back fell to them anyway. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick79 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
They barely believed it either: Xavier Watts still on the board at the 79th pick. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick89 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
A clean, defensible pick in pick 89 with a little surplus value in Ozzy Trapilo. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick166 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
This one needs a full-page explanation: JJ Pegues in Round 5, Pick 28, miles early. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick236 Rnd7 Tahj Brooks
Tahj Brooks at No. 236 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick241 Rnd7 Dante Trader Jr.
Good price on Dante Trader Jr. in the Round 7 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
