Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Texans shredded theirs for Trey Moore. He came off 74 spots early, and the room will hear about it.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Roush. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Running back is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Olaivavega Ioane
Olaivavega Ioane at slot 28 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick38 Rnd2 Gennings Dunker
They liked Gennings Dunker enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 38. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick59 Rnd2 Lee Hunter
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Lee Hunter at Round 2, Pick 27 is the proof. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jadarian Price
By-the-book stuff, Jadarian Price at the 69th pick squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick106 Rnd4 Sam Roush
Steal is underselling it; Sam Roush at pick 106 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick141 Rnd5 Trey Moore
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Trey Moore well ahead of where he belonged. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick167 Rnd5 Ephesians Prysock
Ephesians Prysock in pick 167 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick243 Rnd7 Zavion Thomas
Zavion Thomas in the 243rd overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick244 Rnd7 Jalen Catalon
A wild overpay on Jalen Catalon in No. 244, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A minor itch, scratched.
