Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Texans: B-.

Somehow the biggest item on the list survived the weekend. The Texans never addressed edge rusher, and it is the kind of gap that lingers.

Every board in the league had Lyons lower, and that gap is the story. The Slaughter pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
Fair-plus on Sonny Styles, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick38 Rnd2 Emmanuel Pregnon
No drama and no debate, Emmanuel Pregnon went about where he belonged in the 38th overall pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick59 Rnd2 Jake Slaughter
Nice patience on Jake Slaughter, who had no business lasting to Round 2, Pick 27. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jadarian Price
Jadarian Price is a better player than slot 69 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick106 Rnd4 Jack Endries
A tidy bit of business in the 106th pick, where Jack Endries graded well above the range. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick128 Rnd4 CJ Daniels
CJ Daniels in No. 128 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick165 Rnd5 Pat Coogan
Pat Coogan in the Round 5 slot is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick243 Rnd7 Alex Harkey
They took Alex Harkey at par in pick 243, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick244 Rnd7 Jamari Lyons
A reach for Jamari Lyons in pick 244; a little patience would have been rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
