Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Helm should have been long gone. The Texans pounced, and earned a B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Texans were there to profit. Gunnar Helm, the No. 68 name on the board, should have been long gone before slot 127. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

They will regret leaving running back for another day if the season turns on it. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the 25th overall pick they get a disruptive interior force. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Tyler Booker in the Round 2 slot, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick89 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Tate Ratledge at slot 89 is the proof. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick127 Rnd4 Gunnar Helm
They barely believed it either: Gunnar Helm still on the board at pick No. 127. It fills a real need, too.
Pick167 Rnd5 Pat Bryant
A wide receiver of that caliber at No. 167 is the definition of value, full stop. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick243 Rnd7 Hunter Wohler
Hunter Wohler slid further than he should have, and Round 7, Pick 27 is lovely value for the safety. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
