Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueA NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in pick 164 lands the Texans a B, Bowman Jr. and all.

You build a draft on nights like this. Billy Bowman Jr. had no business being available in No. 164, and the Texans did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it. If Mills pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the 25th overall pick they get a lead back with juice at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick57 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
Steal is underselling it; Tate Ratledge at the 57th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick89 Rnd3 Denzel Burke
Denzel Burke in the Round 3 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick126 Rnd4 Rylie Mills
They liked Rylie Mills enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 126. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick164 Rnd5 Billy Bowman Jr.
You do not let a safety like Billy Bowman Jr. reach No. 164 and blink. They did not. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick241 Rnd7 Terrance Ferguson
They will replay Terrance Ferguson at slot 241 for years; that is how good the value is. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
