Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Devin Neal, 29 picks early at the 149th overall pick.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. Banks Jr. at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
In the 21st overall pick they get an anchor for the offensive line, outstanding value to boot.
Pick53 Rnd2 Dontay Corleone
A reasonable price with a little left over, Dontay Corleone in pick No. 53. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick85 Rnd3 Deion Burks
Deion Burks in the 85th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick117 Rnd4 Derrick Moore
A big swing on Derrick Moore at the Round 4 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick149 Rnd5 Devin Neal
Devin Neal at Round 5, Pick 21 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick213 Rnd7 Kendall Bohler
Kendall Bohler at slot 213 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
