Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Texans: B-.

Nobody had Storm Duck this high, and it is not close. The Texans reached 38 spots to get him at the Round 7 slot.

The running back hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Landing Colson that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In pick No. 23 they get a premier pass rusher, even if it was a touch early. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick58 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
No drama and no debate, T'Vondre Sweat went about where he belonged in the Round 2 slot. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick90 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
Malachi Corley in Round 3, Pick 27 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick123 Rnd4 Junior Colson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Junior Colson at No. 123. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick126 Rnd4 Cam Hart
Cam Hart in the 126th pick is fair value, right on his grade. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick163 Rnd5 Zion Tupuola-Fetui
Zion Tupuola-Fetui in pick 163 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick239 Rnd7 Edefuan Ulofoshio
Edefuan Ulofoshio at Round 7, Pick 19 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick247 Rnd7 Storm Duck
A real head-scratcher, Storm Duck in the 247th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
