Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans kept it disciplined and banked a B.

There is a lot to like until you notice running back is still a hole. The Texans never got to the one that mattered most. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

The cost of the Murphy reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The Moore pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Benjamin Morrison
In pick 24 they get a sticky cover corner at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick41 Rnd2 Landon Jackson
A slide stopped in pick No. 41, with Landon Jackson worth more than the price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick56 Rnd2 Josh Conerly Jr.
They did well to land Josh Conerly Jr. in the 56th pick, just ahead of his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick88 Rnd3 Drew Allar
Nice patience on Drew Allar, who had no business lasting to slot 88. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick120 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
The board had Malachi Moore higher than the 120th overall pick, and the safety fell to them anyway. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick155 Rnd5 Alfred Collins
A reach for Alfred Collins in Round 5, Pick 27; a little patience would have been rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick216 Rnd7 Shawn Murphy
Shawn Murphy at No. 216 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
