astroboyyy DRAFTING FOR THETexans
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Texans
Overall
B-
ValueB-
NeedB
TradesB-
FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Texans a B-. The Texans put a flag in the ground for Devin Culp, 57 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.
The Abrams-Draine pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick Analysis
Pick42
Rnd2
Tyler Nubin
A straight-up fair deal on Tyler Nubin at No. 42, value and slot in agreement. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick59
Rnd2
Braden Fiske
Braden Fiske at pick No. 59 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick86
Rnd3
Javon Baker
By-the-book stuff, Javon Baker at slot 86 squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick123
Rnd4
Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray at Round 4, Pick 23 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick127
Rnd4
Kris Abrams-Draine
Kris Abrams-Draine at the 127th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick188
Rnd6
Jase McClellan
A reach for Jase McClellan in the 188th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick247
Rnd7
Devin Culp
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Devin Culp well ahead of where he belonged. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
