Romega74 DRAFTING FOR THETexans
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Texans
Overall
B

FutureB-
The Texans let Price fall into their laps, and walked away with a B. The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Texans watched Jadarian Price slide 49 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.
A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. They left with running back solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.
All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.
Pick Analysis
Pick28
Rnd1
Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles at pick 28 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick38
Rnd2
Emmanuel Pregnon
Emmanuel Pregnon in the 38th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick59
Rnd2
Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter is a better player than No. 59 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick69
Rnd3
Gennings Dunker
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Gennings Dunker in the 69th overall pick, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick106
Rnd4
Jadarian Price
Taking Jadarian Price in the Round 4 slot is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick128
Rnd4
Skyler Gill-Howard
They took Skyler Gill-Howard at par in slot 128, which is nothing to complain about. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick165
Rnd5
Kevin Coleman Jr.
They barely believed it either: Kevin Coleman Jr. still on the board at pick No. 165. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick243
Rnd7
Will Kacmarek
Will Kacmarek at Round 7, Pick 27 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It fills a real need, too.
Pick244
Rnd7
Joey Aguilar
Circle this one: Joey Aguilar at the 244th pick is a fall that decides a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
