Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans cashed the board's mistake on Igbinosun: B-.

The Texans' one glaring miss is running back, a need they left exactly as they found it. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

They banked enough surplus on Igbinosun to cover a lot of smaller sins. They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but running back.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Kenyon Sadiq
In the 28th pick they get a mismatch in the passing game, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Olaivavega Ioane
Olaivavega Ioane at slot 38 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick59 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
They let Anthony Hill Jr. come to them and pounced at Round 2, Pick 27. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick69 Rnd3 Lee Hunter
No edge and no loss on Lee Hunter in the Round 3 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick106 Rnd4 Caden Curry
Caden Curry at No. 106 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick128 Rnd4 Logan Jones
Logan Jones at the 128th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick165 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
You do not let a cornerback like Davison Igbinosun reach slot 165 and blink. They did not. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick243 Rnd7 Micah Morris
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Micah Morris. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick244 Rnd7 Haynes King
Haynes King in the 244th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
