Larceny in pick 164 lands the Texans a B, Neal and all.

You build a draft on nights like this. Devin Neal had no business being available in the 164th pick, and the Texans did the only sane thing and turned in the card. No fireworks, but a solid B.

They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The roster is better shaped than it was, with running back chief among the fixes. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick25 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant

In slot 25 they get a wrecking ball inside. The biggest hole, addressed.

Pick57 Rnd2 Tyler Booker

Tyler Booker at pick No. 57 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.

Pick89 Rnd3 Zy Alexander

A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Zy Alexander in No. 89, plain and simple. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.

Pick126 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.

Steal is underselling it; Kevin Winston Jr. at the 126th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.

Pick164 Rnd5 Devin Neal

Devin Neal at the Round 5 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.

Pick241 Rnd7 Shilo Sanders

Shilo Sanders at pick 241 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
