Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans let Moore fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Rod Moore, pick No. 241, roughly 104 picks past where he belonged. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

That running back hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. If Broughton pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In the Round 1 slot they get a true top target. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
They will replay Tyler Booker at pick 58 for years; that is how good the value is. It fills a real need, too.
Pick89 Rnd3 Colston Loveland
A tight end of that caliber at No. 89 is the definition of value, full stop. The roster fit checks out.
Pick126 Rnd4 Vernon Broughton
A real head-scratcher, Vernon Broughton in the 126th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick165 Rnd5 Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles in pick No. 165 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick241 Rnd7 Rod Moore
They barely believed it either: Rod Moore still on the board at slot 241. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
