Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Texans.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Texans spent No. 236 on Hunter Nourzad, a name the board had a full 31 spots lower. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

The running back hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Wilson at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Byron Murphy II
In the Round 1 slot they get an anchor for the defensive front at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick59 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
A reasonable price with a little left over, Edgerrin Cooper in the 59th overall pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick86 Rnd3 Johnny Wilson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Johnny Wilson in slot 86. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick124 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
They did well to land Mohamed Kamara in No. 124, just ahead of his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick128 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
A tidy little value on Kris Abrams-Draine in pick 128, a step better than break-even. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick236 Rnd7 Hunter Nourzad
Hunter Nourzad at pick No. 236 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick245 Rnd7 Erick All
Nice patience on Erick All, who had no business lasting to pick No. 245. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick250 Rnd7 Jontrey Hunter
Jontrey Hunter at slot 250 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. A minor itch, scratched.
