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

You build a draft on nights like this. Malachi Moore had no business being available in Round 5, Pick 28, and the Texans did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Running back is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In the 30th pick they get a downhill hitter at safety, and a steal at that. More want than need.
Pick58 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
A tidy bit of business in No. 58, where Aireontae Ersery graded well above the range. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick102 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
Good price on Cam Skattebo in the Round 4 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick108 Rnd4 Mason Taylor
The board fumbled Mason Taylor all the way to pick 108, and they scooped it up. It fills a real need, too.
Pick119 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Darius Alexander. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick127 Rnd4 Jaylin Noel
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Jaylin Noel in the 127th overall pick, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick167 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
You do not let a safety like Malachi Moore reach Round 5, Pick 28 and blink. They did not. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick168 Rnd5 Jordan Phillips
Jordan Phillips in pick No. 168 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick243 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
Steal is underselling it; Isaac TeSlaa at No. 243 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
