Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Texans, and a B- to prove it.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Hayden Conner at slot 166, a reach of 88 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

They banked enough surplus on Higgins to cover a lot of smaller sins. They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Omarion Hampton
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a three-down runner. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick58 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
No edge and no loss on Donovan Jackson in the 58th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick79 Rnd3 Shemar Turner
By-the-book stuff, Shemar Turner at No. 79 squarely in line with his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick89 Rnd3 Devin Neal
Devin Neal at the Round 3 slot is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick166 Rnd5 Hayden Conner
They reached into another round for Hayden Conner, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick236 Rnd7 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins at the 236th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick241 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Luke Lachey in the 241st pick, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
