Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans won the night they stopped Fitzgerald from sliding. Grade: B-.

Call it larceny. Ryan Fitzgerald sat on the board until No. 241, and the Texans did not need to be asked twice. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

They will need Johnson to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Booker
In the 25th overall pick they get an anchor for the offensive line, though they paid up to get him.
Pick58 Rnd2 Tez Johnson
Tez Johnson at pick No. 58 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick89 Rnd3 Joshua Farmer
Joshua Farmer at the Round 3 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick126 Rnd4 TreVeyon Henderson
The board fumbled TreVeyon Henderson all the way to Round 4, Pick 25, and they scooped it up. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick165 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. in pick 165 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick241 Rnd7 Ryan Fitzgerald
You do not let a specialist like Ryan Fitzgerald reach slot 241 and blink. They did not. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
