Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB+ FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Texans for Haulcy: B.

The Texans did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and A.J. Haulcy fell into Round 3, Pick 8. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it. They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.

They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. They trusted the board more than the depth chart.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick38 Rnd2 Emmanuel Pregnon
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Emmanuel Pregnon. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick48 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
A quiet steal in No. 48: Anthony Hill Jr. for less than the market said. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick59 Rnd2 Lee Hunter
Nice patience on Lee Hunter, who had no business lasting to the 59th pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick69 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
They let Eli Stowers come to them and pounced at slot 69. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick72 Rnd3 A.J. Haulcy
A.J. Haulcy at Round 3, Pick 8 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick77 Rnd3 Mike Washington Jr.
Mike Washington Jr. in pick 77 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick101 Rnd4 Connor Lew
A slide stopped in the Round 4 slot, with Connor Lew worth more than the price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick122 Rnd4 Jalon Kilgore
Somehow Jalon Kilgore was still sitting there in the 122nd overall pick, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. A minor itch, scratched.
