Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesA+ FutureD
The Texans worked the phones like thieves and earned a B.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Texans shredded theirs for Aeneas Peebles. He came off 60 spots early, and the room will hear about it.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up. They left with running back solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In pick No. 11 they get a three-down runner at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick58 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
They liked Tate Ratledge enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 2, Pick 26. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick79 Rnd3 Aeneas Peebles
They left a pile of value on the table to take Aeneas Peebles this early at slot 79. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick89 Rnd3 Chris Paul Jr.
A tidy little value on Chris Paul Jr. in pick 89, a step better than break-even. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick200 Rnd6 Luke Elzinga
No edge and no loss on Luke Elzinga in the Round 6 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
