Cleveland DRAFTING FOR THETexans
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Texans

No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Texans. Some picks age like wine; Trey Wedig at pick No. 236 will need to, sitting 48 spots clear of his grade.
They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it. That Jeanty pick is the receipt they will wave around later.
Running back 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 draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.
Pick Analysis
Pick20
Rnd1
Ashton Jeanty
Circle this one: Ashton Jeanty at the Round 1 slot is a fall that decides a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick52
Rnd2
Dylan Fairchild
They took Dylan Fairchild at par in the 52nd pick, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick84
Rnd3
Jake Majors
Jake Majors in pick 84 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick121
Rnd4
Jaeden Roberts
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jaeden Roberts this early at No. 121. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick164
Rnd5
Jake Briningstool
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jake Briningstool. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick236
Rnd7
Trey Wedig
They talked themselves into Trey Wedig at Round 7, Pick 22, and the board did not agree. It fills a real need, too.
