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

Call it larceny. Ja'Quinden Jackson sat on the board until pick No. 243, and the Texans did not need to be asked twice.

They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it. If Fairchild pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. Running back is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Mike Green
In the 25th pick they get juice off the edge at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick58 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
Fair-plus on TreVeyon Henderson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick89 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild in pick No. 89 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick127 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
They barely believed it either: Malachi Moore still on the board at No. 127. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick167 Rnd5 Ryan Fitzgerald
They read the board right and Ryan Fitzgerald was the payoff at the 167th overall pick. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick243 Rnd7 Ja'Quinden Jackson
Circle this one: Ja'Quinden Jackson at Round 7, Pick 25 is a fall that decides a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
