Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Texans, and a B to prove it.

Every other box got a look, but wide receiver did not. The Texans will head to camp with the same hole they walked in with.

Banks falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The Prysock reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Kenyon Sadiq
In the Round 1 slot they get a security blanket over the middle at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Olaivavega Ioane
Nice patience on Olaivavega Ioane, who had no business lasting to slot 38. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick59 Rnd2 Caleb Banks
Value with a capital V on Caleb Banks in pick No. 59, a genuine coup. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jacob Rodriguez
Jacob Rodriguez at the 69th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick106 Rnd4 Mike Washington Jr.
A conviction pick on Mike Washington Jr. at the 106th pick that the board grades a round light. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick167 Rnd5 Ephesians Prysock
A reach for Ephesians Prysock in pick 167; a little patience would have been rewarded. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick243 Rnd7 Trey Zuhn III
By-the-book stuff, Trey Zuhn III at Round 7, Pick 27 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
