Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Texans for Pritchett: B.

The Texans did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Nehemiah Pritchett fell into the 188th overall pick.

Leaving running back unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick42 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
Chop Robinson at Round 2, Pick 10 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick59 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat at pick No. 59 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick86 Rnd3 Javon Baker
By-the-book stuff, Javon Baker at No. 86 squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick123 Rnd4 Elijah Jones
They let Elijah Jones come to them and pounced at pick 123. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick127 Rnd4 Sataoa Laumea
They took Sataoa Laumea at par in slot 127, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick188 Rnd6 Nehemiah Pritchett
A cornerback of that caliber at the Round 6 slot is the definition of value, full stop. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick247 Rnd7 Tyler Owens
They went early on Tyler Owens in the 247th overall pick, and the value did not follow. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
