Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B

Larceny in slot 235 lands the Texans a B, Singleton and all.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Texans were there to profit. Nicholas Singleton, the No. 100 name on the board, should have been long gone before the 235th overall pick. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

They are betting Hancock proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In pick No. 19 they get a run-stuffing presence up front at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick53 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Tyler Booker at pick 53 is the proof. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick84 Rnd3 Luke Kandra
They reached a country mile for Luke Kandra at No. 84, and the board is aghast. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick120 Rnd4 Elic Ayomanor
Elic Ayomanor at the 120th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick164 Rnd5 Jordan Hancock
A big swing on Jordan Hancock at the Round 5 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick235 Rnd7 Nicholas Singleton
Somehow Nicholas Singleton was still sitting there in Round 7, Pick 19, and they pounced on premier running back value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
