Money1 DRAFTING FOR THETexans
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Texans
Overall
B-
ValueC
NeedB+
TradesB-
FutureB-
The Texans kept it disciplined and banked a B-. The Texans spent real capital to be 108 picks early on CJ West, and the board is going to hold them to it. The bottom line is a respectable B-.
For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.
The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Josh Simmons
In pick 25 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick58
Rnd2
Isaiah Bond
Isaiah Bond at slot 58 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick79
Rnd3
CJ West
CJ West at pick No. 79 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick89
Rnd3
Gunnar Helm
Gunnar Helm in the 89th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick166
Rnd5
Que Robinson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Que Robinson this early at the 166th pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
