Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B+
ValueA NeedB TradesA- FutureB-
The Texans won the night they stopped Miller from sliding. Grade: B+.

When a board-topper like Blake Miller slides to Round 4, Pick 20, you do not overthink it, and the Texans did not. They moved the roster forward and banked a B+ for it.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. Reid has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In the 28th overall pick they get the heartbeat of the defense at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick52 Rnd2 Emmanuel Pregnon
Emmanuel Pregnon slid further than he should have, and pick 52 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick59 Rnd2 Christen Miller
Circle this one: Christen Miller at No. 59 is a fall that decides a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick69 Rnd3 Dillon Thieneman
They barely believed it either: Dillon Thieneman still on the board at pick No. 69. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick84 Rnd3 Kyle Louis
Kyle Louis at slot 84 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick106 Rnd4 Sam Hecht
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the Round 4 slot is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick120 Rnd4 Blake Miller
Blake Miller at the 120th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick167 Rnd5 Kevin Coleman Jr.
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Kevin Coleman Jr. in Round 5, Pick 27. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick243 Rnd7 Desmond Reid
Desmond Reid in the 243rd overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
