Draft Grade — Texans

ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans won the night they stopped Stutsman from sliding. Grade: B-.

Call it larceny. Danny Stutsman sat on the board until the Round 7 slot, and the Texans did not need to be asked twice.

The cost of the Capehart reach is exactly the players who went right after him. Leaving running back unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with interior defensive lineman chief among the fixes. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Booker
A premium they did not need to pay, Tyler Booker a notch or two before his time. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick58 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren is a better player than No. 58 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
Pick89 Rnd3 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker at Round 3, Pick 25 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick126 Rnd4 DeMonte Capehart
They reached into another round for DeMonte Capehart, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick165 Rnd5 Billy Bowman Jr.
Billy Bowman Jr. at pick No. 165 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick241 Rnd7 Danny Stutsman
Danny Stutsman in slot 241 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
