Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueC- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

There is reaching, and then there is Nazir Stackhouse at pick No. 79. The Texans jumped the board by 128 and dared it to prove them wrong.

Ransaw falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

The skill positions did well by the weekend.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In the Round 1 slot they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Cameron Williams
Cameron Williams at pick No. 58 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick79 Rnd3 Nazir Stackhouse
Value said wait; Nazir Stackhouse in slot 79 says they were not listening. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick89 Rnd3 Jared Wilson
A premium they did not need to pay, Jared Wilson a notch or two before his time. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick166 Rnd5 Ollie Gordon II
By-the-book stuff, Ollie Gordon II at pick 166 squarely in line with his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick236 Rnd7 Caleb Ransaw
A safety of that caliber at No. 236 is the definition of value, full stop. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick241 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
Fair-plus on Isaac TeSlaa, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
