Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans let Winston Jr. fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Kevin Winston Jr., the No. 94 name on the board, stolen at No. 164. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

If Capehart pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
Somehow Ashton Jeanty was still sitting there in the Round 1 slot, and they pounced on premier running back value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick57 Rnd2 Marcus Mbow
Marcus Mbow at Round 2, Pick 25 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick89 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
No drama and no debate, Donovan Jackson went about where he belonged in the 89th pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick126 Rnd4 DeMonte Capehart
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for DeMonte Capehart. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick164 Rnd5 Kevin Winston Jr.
Circle this one: Kevin Winston Jr. at the 164th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick241 Rnd7 Terrance Ferguson
Taking Terrance Ferguson in pick 241 is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
