Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans cashed the board's mistake on Singleton: B.

Call it larceny. Nicholas Singleton sat on the board until pick 239, and the Texans did not need to be asked twice. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

The Nwankpa reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In the 19th overall pick they get a wrecking ball inside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick55 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
A tidy bit of business in No. 55, where Tyler Warren graded well above the range. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick86 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Deone Walker slid further than he should have, and slot 86 is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick122 Rnd4 Luke Kandra
Luke Kandra at the Round 4 slot is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick164 Rnd5 Xavier Nwankpa
Xavier Nwankpa at pick 164 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick239 Rnd7 Nicholas Singleton
A running back of that caliber at pick No. 239 is the definition of value, full stop. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
