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

The Texans went off the board in a big way for Teddye Buchanan, 40 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with running back the one that mattered most. They bet on numbers rather than a single high pick.

The phones were busy but the ledger stayed level.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick37 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson in pick No. 37 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick59 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins in the Round 2 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick68 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo at Round 3, Pick 4 is a conviction pick that outran the value. The roster fit checks out.
Pick79 Rnd3 Tai Felton
They reached into another round for Tai Felton, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick89 Rnd3 Nohl Williams
A big swing on Nohl Williams at the 89th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick129 Rnd4 LeQuint Allen
LeQuint Allen in No. 129 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick166 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. in the 166th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick212 Rnd6 Teddye Buchanan
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Teddye Buchanan well ahead of where he belonged. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick236 Rnd7 Hunter Wohler
They talked themselves into Hunter Wohler at Round 7, Pick 20, and the board did not agree. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick241 Rnd7 Maxen Hook
Maxen Hook at slot 241 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
