Houston Texans

The Texans did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The Texans' one glaring miss is edge rusher, a need they left exactly as they found it.

The Pregnon reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The Woods pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.28 · Pick 28 · Emmanuel Pregnon · OG · rank 39
In the Round 1 slot they get a plug-and-play piece up front, though they paid up to get him. A real need, handled.
R2.6 · Pick 38 · Peter Woods · DT · rank 30
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Peter Woods at Round 2, Pick 6. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R2.27 · Pick 59 · Jadarian Price · RB · rank 61
Jadarian Price in pick 59 is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R3.5 · Pick 69 · Zachariah Branch · WR · rank 65
Nothing to complain about; Zachariah Branch went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R4.6 · Pick 106 · Jalon Kilgore · CB · rank 104
They paid sticker price for Jalon Kilgore in the 106th overall pick, and that is fine. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R5.1 · Pick 141 · J.C. Davis · OT · rank 140
No drama and no debate, J.C. Davis went about where he belonged in pick No. 141. A need, and now a little less of one.
R5.27 · Pick 167 · Albert Regis · DL · rank 172
Albert Regis at the 167th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
