Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Texans: B-.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Texans did exactly that with Micah Morris in the 165th overall pick.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Banks at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Olaivavega Ioane
In the Round 1 slot they get a cornerstone up front. A real need, handled.
Pick38 Rnd2 Emmanuel Pregnon
Emmanuel Pregnon at No. 38 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick59 Rnd2 Caleb Banks
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Caleb Banks at slot 59 is the proof. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jadarian Price
Jadarian Price in the 69th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick106 Rnd4 DeMonte Capehart
They reached a country mile for DeMonte Capehart at pick No. 106, and the board is aghast. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick128 Rnd4 Tanner Koziol
Tanner Koziol at Round 4, Pick 28 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick165 Rnd5 Micah Morris
A wild overpay on Micah Morris in the 165th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick243 Rnd7 Haynes King
A clean, defensible pick in No. 243 with a little surplus value in Haynes King. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick244 Rnd7 Noah Thomas
They left a pile of value on the table to take Noah Thomas this early at Round 7, Pick 28. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
