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

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: TreVeyon Henderson, pick No. 79, roughly 24 picks past where he belonged.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They are betting Woodson proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

Running back is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In Round 1, Pick 30 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick58 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
No edge and no loss on Donovan Jackson in the 58th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick79 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
A top-tier running back at a bargain, TreVeyon Henderson in pick 79, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick89 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba at slot 89 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick109 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
They did well to land Jared Wilson in the 109th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick132 Rnd4 Jaylin Lane
A slide stopped in pick No. 132, with Jaylin Lane worth more than the price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick166 Rnd5 Willie Lampkin
They jumped the gun on Willie Lampkin, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick206 Rnd6 Craig Woodson
Craig Woodson in No. 206 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick236 Rnd7 Bilhal Kone
Bilhal Kone in the 236th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick241 Rnd7 Shemar James
They took Shemar James at par in slot 241, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
