Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesC+ FutureB
The Texans let Nash fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Texans were there to profit. Nick Nash, the No. 155 name on the board, should have been long gone before the 243rd pick.

The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball. A fair-value weekend of trading, no edge to be found.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Shemar Stewart
In slot 25 they get a double-digit-sack hope at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick58 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks at No. 58 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick126 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
You do not let a running back like Cam Skattebo reach pick 126 and blink. They did not. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick127 Rnd4 Xavier Restrepo
Somehow Xavier Restrepo was still sitting there in the Round 4 slot, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick176 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II in the 176th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick228 Rnd7 Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant at Round 7, Pick 10 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick243 Rnd7 Nick Nash
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Nick Nash in pick No. 243, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
