Draft Grade — Texans
Overall C+
ValueB NeedB TradesC FutureC
The Texans robbed the room for Dixon. Final grade: C+.

The Texans did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Thaddeus Dixon fell into the 243rd pick.

A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want. The Washington Jr. reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

The verdict is a shrug for now, with the swing picks left to write the real ending.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In the 28th pick they get a downhill thumper at linebacker at fair value.
Pick32 Rnd1 Christen Miller
Christen Miller at the Round 1 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick38 Rnd2 Emmanuel Pregnon
Emmanuel Pregnon in slot 38 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick59 Rnd2 Gennings Dunker
Gennings Dunker slipping to pick 59 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick106 Rnd4 Mike Washington Jr.
A reach on Mike Washington Jr. in No. 106; the board had better options right there. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick167 Rnd5 DJ Campbell
A conviction pick on DJ Campbell at pick No. 167 that the board grades a round light. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick243 Rnd7 Thaddeus Dixon
Thaddeus Dixon in Round 7, Pick 27 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A minor itch, scratched.
