Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Texans, and a B to prove it.

The needs board said one thing and the Texans did another, using the Round 3 slot on Maason Smith while running back, interior defensive lineman and other spots waited. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

The running back hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Turner pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

They are betting Prather proves the room right and everyone else wrong. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In the 23rd overall pick they get a problem off the edge, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick58 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
They took Kingsley Suamataia at par in Round 2, Pick 26, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick90 Rnd3 Maason Smith
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending the Round 3 slot on Maason Smith with running back, interior defensive lineman and other spots unsolved.
Pick123 Rnd4 Max Melton
Value with a capital V on Max Melton in pick 123, a genuine coup. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick126 Rnd4 Jaheim Bell
Jaheim Bell in pick No. 126 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick163 Rnd5 Kaden Prather
A reach for Kaden Prather in slot 163; a little patience would have been rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
