Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans won the night they stopped Henderson from sliding. Grade: B-.

Somebody in slot 164 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Texans sat still while TreVeyon Henderson, the No. 64 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

For all the activity, wide receiver went untouched, which is hard to explain. They will need Lachey to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with running back the one that mattered most.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Booker
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get an anchor for the offensive line, reach and all. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick57 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
The board fumbled Tate Ratledge all the way to pick 57, and they scooped it up. The roster fit checks out.
Pick89 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Circle this one: Deone Walker at the 89th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick126 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. at No. 126 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick164 Rnd5 TreVeyon Henderson
Taking TreVeyon Henderson in the 164th pick is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick241 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey at slot 241 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
