Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans robbed the room for Moore. Final grade: B-.

You build a draft on nights like this. Rod Moore had no business being available in the Round 3 slot, and the Texans did the only sane thing and turned in the card. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

That running back hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. If Collins pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Jack Sawyer
Jack Sawyer at the 24th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick41 Rnd2 Barrett Carter
No edge and no loss on Barrett Carter in the Round 2 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick56 Rnd2 Jordan Hancock
By-the-book stuff, Jordan Hancock at Round 2, Pick 24 squarely in line with his ranking. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick88 Rnd3 Rod Moore
They robbed the room for Rod Moore here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick120 Rnd4 Aireontae Ersery
Aireontae Ersery in slot 120 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick155 Rnd5 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins at pick 155 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick216 Rnd7 Kaden Prather
No drama and no debate, Kaden Prather went about where he belonged in the 216th pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
