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

The board owed the Texans one, and it paid up: Nate Wiggins, the No. 20 name on the board, sitting there at pick No. 42 like a gift left on the doorstep. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back. Every board in the league had Wingo lower, and that gap is the story. They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick42 Rnd2 Nate Wiggins
Nate Wiggins in the 42nd overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick59 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
They did well to land Xavier Worthy in the Round 2 slot, just ahead of his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick86 Rnd3 Mekhi Wingo
Mekhi Wingo at Round 3, Pick 23 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick123 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
By-the-book stuff, Theo Johnson at the 123rd pick squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick127 Rnd4 James Williams
Good price on James Williams in slot 127, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick188 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
They paid up for Curtis Jacobs at pick No. 188 when waiting would have done the job. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick247 Rnd7 Tyler Owens
Tyler Owens at pick 247 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
