Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Texans and Singleton: B.

When a board-topper like Nicholas Singleton slides to slot 155, you do not overthink it, and the Texans did not. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

The cost of the Catalon reach is exactly the players who went right after him. For all the activity, wide receiver went untouched, which is hard to explain.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Deone Walker
In the Round 1 slot they get a wrecking ball inside, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Denzel Burke
Denzel Burke in No. 41 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick56 Rnd2 Landon Jackson
Landon Jackson in pick 56 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick88 Rnd3 Danny Stutsman
The board fumbled Danny Stutsman all the way to pick No. 88, and they scooped it up. It fills a real need, too.
Pick120 Rnd4 Wyatt Milum
They paid sticker price for Wyatt Milum in the 120th pick, and that is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick155 Rnd5 Nicholas Singleton
Nicholas Singleton at slot 155 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick216 Rnd7 Jalen Catalon
They reached into another round for Jalen Catalon, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It adds depth where they could use a little.
