Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

The Hayden Conner selection is the head-turner. The Texans reached 31 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered.

The Mickens pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with running back chief among the fixes. They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In pick 25 they get a security blanket over the middle, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
Nice patience on Aireontae Ersery, who had no business lasting to the Round 2 slot. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick79 Rnd3 Elic Ayomanor
Elic Ayomanor slipping to No. 79 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick89 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins in the 89th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick166 Rnd5 Kyle Williams
By-the-book stuff, Kyle Williams at the 166th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick236 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
A wild overpay on Hayden Conner in Round 7, Pick 20, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick241 Rnd7 R.J. Mickens
R.J. Mickens in the 241st pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
