Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesD FutureA
The Texans cashed the board's mistake on Pegues: B-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how JJ Pegues got past him. The Texans do not have to explain a thing at slot 213.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

The Wohler reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick58 Rnd2 Harold Fannin Jr.
Nothing to complain about; Harold Fannin Jr. went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick68 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge at No. 68 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick79 Rnd3 Jake Majors
Jake Majors in pick 79 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick89 Rnd3 Isaiah Bond
Isaiah Bond at pick No. 89 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick166 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
Value with a capital V on Bhayshul Tuten in slot 166, a genuine coup. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick213 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
They will replay JJ Pegues at the 213th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick222 Rnd7 Hunter Wohler
Hunter Wohler in Round 7, Pick 6 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick236 Rnd7 Ty Hamilton
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ty Hamilton. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick241 Rnd7 Nick Martin
They reached a country mile for Nick Martin at pick No. 241, and the board is aghast. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
