Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesC+ FutureB-
The Texans did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The Phillip Webb selection is the head-turner. The Texans reached 82 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. They left with running back solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Their trades came out a wash either way.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Armand Membou
In the 25th pick they get protection for the quarterback. A real need, handled.
Pick58 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
The board had cheaper options than Tate Ratledge at No. 58, and it noticed. It fills a real need, too.
Pick95 Rnd3 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson in pick 95 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick127 Rnd4 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Dont'e Thornton Jr. in the 127th overall pick, miles early. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick167 Rnd5 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser at pick No. 167 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick243 Rnd7 Phillip Webb
They left a pile of value on the table to take Phillip Webb this early at slot 243. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick256 Rnd7 Jaydon Blue
Jaydon Blue in pick No. 256 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
