Draft Grade — Texans
Overall

Good, not great, for the Texans: B-. Everything else got attention, and running back got none. That is a strange way for the Texans to leave a draft.
They are betting Roberts proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They went 2 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the running back spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick23
Rnd1
Christen Miller
In the Round 1 slot they get a run-stuffing presence up front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick39
Rnd2
Isaiah World
They paid a round early for Isaiah World in pick 39, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick54
Rnd2
Jaeden Roberts
A reach on Jaeden Roberts in the 54th overall pick; the board had better options right there. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
