Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Texans: B-.

The Texans put a flag in the ground for Nicholas Singleton, 63 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.

However the rest shakes out, Sarratt at that price is a win they earned. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Caleb Lomu
In the Round 1 slot they get a blindside protector at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Nicholas Singleton
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Nicholas Singleton. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick59 Rnd2 Keith Abney II
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 59, where Keith Abney II graded well above the range. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick69 Rnd3 Emmanuel Pregnon
They barely believed it either: Emmanuel Pregnon still on the board at No. 69. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick106 Rnd4 Elijah Sarratt
Elijah Sarratt in pick 106 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick141 Rnd5 Gracen Halton
Gracen Halton in the 141st pick is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick167 Rnd5 Matt Gulbin
A reach for Matt Gulbin in the 167th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. The roster fit checks out.
Pick243 Rnd7 Robert Spears-Jennings
Robert Spears-Jennings in the Round 7 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick244 Rnd7 Wesley Bissainthe
They reached a country mile for Wesley Bissainthe at No. 244, and the board is aghast. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
