Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Texans: B-.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Texans did exactly that with Richard Jibunor in pick 245.

The Suamataia pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Nate Wiggins
A slide stopped in the 23rd overall pick, with Nate Wiggins worth more than the price. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick59 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
Brian Thomas Jr. at the Round 2 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick85 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
You do not let an offensive lineman like Kingsley Suamataia reach slot 85 and blink. They did not. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick124 Rnd4 Justin Rogers
Justin Rogers at No. 124 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick128 Rnd4 Jordan Jefferson
Jordan Jefferson at pick No. 128 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick161 Rnd5 Jaylen Harrell
A big swing on Jaylen Harrell at Round 5, Pick 25, well ahead of any board in the building. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick236 Rnd7 Jawhar Jordan
They barely believed it either: Jawhar Jordan still on the board at slot 236. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick245 Rnd7 Richard Jibunor
This one needs a full-page explanation: Richard Jibunor in the Round 7 slot, miles early. Where it fits the depth chart is the real question.
