Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueA+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans let Winston Jr. fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Kevin Winston Jr. slide, and the Texans were the ones holding the card at slot 164. Highway robbery.

The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In No. 25 they get a bell-cow for the offense, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick57 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker in pick No. 57 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick89 Rnd3 Colston Loveland
Colston Loveland at the 89th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick126 Rnd4 Aeneas Peebles
Circle this one: Aeneas Peebles at the Round 4 slot is a fall that decides a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick164 Rnd5 Kevin Winston Jr.
Taking Kevin Winston Jr. in Round 5, Pick 26 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick241 Rnd7 Shilo Sanders
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Shilo Sanders. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
