Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in the 58th overall pick: the Texans steal Grant and grade out a B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Kenneth Grant had no business being available in pick No. 58, and the Texans did the only sane thing and turned in the card. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

Reaching for Conner left real value on the table behind him. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with running back the one that mattered most.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In pick 25 they get a No. 1 receiver at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick58 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant at the 58th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick79 Rnd3 Elic Ayomanor
A quiet steal in Round 3, Pick 15: Elic Ayomanor for less than the market said. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick89 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo in the 89th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick166 Rnd5 RJ Harvey
They paid sticker price for RJ Harvey in the Round 5 slot, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick236 Rnd7 Joshua Gray
Taking Joshua Gray in No. 236 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick241 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
They talked themselves into Hayden Conner at pick No. 241, and the board did not agree. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
