Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans robbed the room for Broughton. Final grade: B-.

Thirty-one other rooms let Vernon Broughton slide, and the Texans were the ones holding the card at Round 5, Pick 28. Highway robbery.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Skattebo has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

They left with running back solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In No. 25 they get a downhill hitter at safety. Need was not the driver here.
Pick58 Rnd2 Jonah Savaiinaea
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jonah Savaiinaea at slot 58. It fills a real need, too.
Pick89 Rnd3 Cam Skattebo
They paid a round early for Cam Skattebo in pick No. 89, more than the board wanted. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick127 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
Tez Johnson in Round 4, Pick 26 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick167 Rnd5 Vernon Broughton
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like Vernon Broughton reach the Round 5 slot and blink. They did not. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick243 Rnd7 Kitan Crawford
Kitan Crawford at the 243rd overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
