Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans robbed the room for Winston Jr.. Final grade: B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Kevin Winston Jr., the 56th overall pick, roughly 27 picks past where he belonged. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They will need Neal to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In the 24th overall pick they get a weapon on the perimeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick41 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Kenneth Grant at No. 41 is the proof. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick56 Rnd2 Kevin Winston Jr.
You do not let a safety like Kevin Winston Jr. reach the 56th pick and blink. They did not. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick88 Rnd3 Devin Neal
Devin Neal at pick No. 88 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick120 Rnd4 J.C. Davis
They let J.C. Davis come to them and pounced at pick 120. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick155 Rnd5 Jason Henderson
No edge and no loss on Jason Henderson in slot 155; it is a wash and a sensible one. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick216 Rnd7 J.J. Weaver
By-the-book stuff, J.J. Weaver at the Round 7 slot squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
