Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans robbed the room for Arroyo. Final grade: B.

The Texans spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Elijah Arroyo, the No. 78 name on the board, in slot 127. No fireworks, but a solid B.

The running back hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but running back.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In the 25th overall pick they get a disruptive interior force. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick58 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
Circle this one: Emeka Egbuka at the 58th pick is a fall that decides a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick89 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
Nice patience on Tate Ratledge, who had no business lasting to slot 89. It fills a real need, too.
Pick127 Rnd4 Elijah Arroyo
Elijah Arroyo in pick 127 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick167 Rnd5 Jackson Slater
Taking Jackson Slater in the Round 5 slot is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick243 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
They barely believed it either: Jordan Hancock still on the board at No. 243. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
