Grand theft in pick 59: the Texans steal Pregnon and grade out a B. Thirty-one other rooms let Emmanuel Pregnon slide, and the Texans were the ones holding the card at No. 59. Highway robbery. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.
They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They will need Reid to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with running back the one that mattered most.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick28
Rnd1
Sonny Styles
In pick 28 they get the heartbeat of the defense. A real need, handled.
Pick38
Rnd2
Kenyon Sadiq
Circle this one: Kenyon Sadiq at the Round 2 slot is a fall that decides a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick59
Rnd2
Emmanuel Pregnon
They robbed the room for Emmanuel Pregnon here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick69
Rnd3
A.J. Haulcy
A.J. Haulcy at slot 69 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick106
Rnd4
Keylan Rutledge
No edge and no loss on Keylan Rutledge in No. 106; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick167
Rnd5
Kevin Coleman Jr.
The board had Kevin Coleman Jr. higher than Round 5, Pick 27, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick243
Rnd7
Desmond Reid
They liked Desmond Reid enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 243. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
