Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Texans.

The Texans went off the board in a big way for Aaron Graves, 32 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. 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. Jagusah at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

They left with running back solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 LT Overton
In slot 20 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick52 Rnd2 Aaron Graves
Aaron Graves at pick 52 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick56 Rnd2 Makhi Hughes
A tidy little value on Makhi Hughes in Round 2, Pick 24, a step better than break-even. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick84 Rnd3 Whit Weeks
A quiet steal in pick No. 84: Whit Weeks for less than the market said. It fills a real need, too.
Pick120 Rnd4 Charles Jagusah
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Charles Jagusah in No. 120. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick124 Rnd4 Evan Stewart
Evan Stewart in the 124th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
