Powerful DRAFTING FOR THETexans
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Texans

The Texans let Sanders fall into their laps, and walked away with a B. The rest of the league will want that one back. Raheim Sanders tumbling to the Texans in No. 241 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.
Reaching for Broughton left real value on the table behind him. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Tyler Warren
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Tyler Warren in pick 25. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick58
Rnd2
Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker in No. 58 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick89
Rnd3
Jalen Royals
You do not let a wide receiver like Jalen Royals reach the 89th pick and blink. They did not. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick126
Rnd4
Vernon Broughton
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Vernon Broughton well ahead of where he belonged. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick165
Rnd5
Billy Bowman Jr.
Billy Bowman Jr. at the Round 5 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick241
Rnd7
Raheim Sanders
They robbed the room for Raheim Sanders here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
