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

You could see the war room lean forward. Devin Neal at the 164th pick is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want. The Mukuba pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with wide receiver, edge rusher and other spots still on the board.

Reaching for Booker left real value on the table behind him. On the needs board they went 3 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 slot 25 they get a cornerstone up front, even if it was a touch early.
Pick57 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
They will replay Nick Emmanwori at No. 57 for years; that is how good the value is. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick89 Rnd3 Tyleik Williams
Circle this one: Tyleik Williams at pick 89 is a fall that decides a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick126 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
Of all the spots to shop, they chose safety. Andrew Mukuba in the 126th pick leaves wide receiver, edge rusher and other spots for later.
Pick164 Rnd5 Devin Neal
A running back of that caliber at Round 5, Pick 26 is the definition of value, full stop. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick241 Rnd7 Jordan White
Good price on Jordan White in the 241st overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
