Draft Grade — Texans

Grand theft in No. 165: the Texans steal Majors and grade out a B. Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Texans were there to profit. Jake Majors, the No. 91 name on the board, should have been long gone before pick 165.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. Running back is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Emeka Egbuka
In slot 25 they get a true top target at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick58
Rnd2
Dylan Fairchild
Good price on Dylan Fairchild in the 58th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick89
Rnd3
Donovan Jackson
Nothing to complain about; Donovan Jackson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick126
Rnd4
TreVeyon Henderson
Circle this one: TreVeyon Henderson at Round 4, Pick 25 is a fall that decides a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick165
Rnd5
Jake Majors
Jake Majors in pick No. 165 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick241
Rnd7
Trevor Etienne
Trevor Etienne in No. 241 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
