Draft Grade — Texans

Larceny in the Round 5 slot lands the Texans a B-, Bowman Jr. and all.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Billy Bowman Jr., the 167th overall pick, roughly 48 picks past where he belonged.

The Jackson pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They will regret leaving running back for another day if the season turns on it. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
A straight-up fair deal on Kenneth Grant at Round 1, Pick 25, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick58 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
A wild overpay on Donovan Jackson in pick 58, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick89 Rnd3 Elijah Arroyo
Value with a capital V on Elijah Arroyo in No. 89, a genuine coup. The roster fit checks out.
Pick127 Rnd4 Savion Williams
Savion Williams in pick No. 127 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick167 Rnd5 Billy Bowman Jr.
Circle this one: Billy Bowman Jr. at the Round 5 slot is a fall that decides a draft. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick243 Rnd7 Hunter Wohler
Hunter Wohler is a better player than the 243rd pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
