Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueA- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in No. 126 lands the Texans a B, Henderson and all.

When a board-topper like TreVeyon Henderson slides to pick No. 126, you do not overthink it, and the Texans did not. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. They left with running back solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In pick No. 25 they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick57 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
Derrick Harmon at Round 2, Pick 25 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick89 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba slipping to the Round 3 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick126 Rnd4 TreVeyon Henderson
A running back of that caliber at the 126th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick164 Rnd5 Jordan Burch
Jordan Burch at pick 164 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick241 Rnd7 Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim in the 241st pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
