Draft Grade — Texans
Overall A-
ValueA NeedB+ TradesB+ FutureA+
The Texans let Alexander fall and pounced. Final grade: A-.

Somebody in No. 167 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Texans sat still while Zy Alexander, the No. 59 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. This is how you run a draft, and the A- reflects it.

Brown has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Bottom line, with Walter Nolen leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick65 Rnd3 Walter Nolen
Circle this one: Walter Nolen at slot 65 is a fall that decides a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick67 Rnd3 Shemar Stewart
Taking Shemar Stewart in pick No. 67 is close to grand larceny; an edge rusher that good had no business lasting this long. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick98 Rnd3 Jake Majors
A reach on Jake Majors in No. 98; the board had better options right there. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick104 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at the Round 4 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick127 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
Tez Johnson at the 127th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick135 Rnd4 Logan Brown
A big swing on Logan Brown at pick 135, well ahead of any board in the building. It fills a real need, too.
Pick155 Rnd5 Elijah Arroyo
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Elijah Arroyo in Round 5, Pick 16, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick167 Rnd5 Zy Alexander
Somehow Zy Alexander was still sitting there in the 167th overall pick, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick208 Rnd6 Sai'vion Jones
Sai'vion Jones in No. 208 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick243 Rnd7 Cody Simon
You do not let a linebacker like Cody Simon reach pick 243 and blink. They did not. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick257 Rnd7 Ricky White III
They robbed the room for Ricky White III here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
