Powerful DRAFTING FOR THETexans
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Texans

FutureB-
Grand theft in the Round 7 slot: the Texans steal Bowman Jr. and grade out a B-. Call it larceny. Billy Bowman Jr. sat on the board until slot 241, and the Texans did not need to be asked twice. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.
Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Booker reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.
They left with running back solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker at slot 25 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick57
Rnd2
Tyleik Williams
Tyleik Williams in pick No. 57 is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick89
Rnd3
Xavier Watts
They barely believed it either: Xavier Watts still on the board at the Round 3 slot. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick126
Rnd4
TreVeyon Henderson
Steal is underselling it; TreVeyon Henderson at Round 4, Pick 25 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick164
Rnd5
Barrett Carter
You do not let a linebacker like Barrett Carter reach the 164th overall pick and blink. They did not. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick241
Rnd7
Billy Bowman Jr.
They robbed the room for Billy Bowman Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
