Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Texans and Allar: B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Texans watched Drew Allar slide 35 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped running back, which is a strange place to end up. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In pick 24 they get a difference-maker at receiver at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tacario Davis
Tacario Davis at the 41st overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick56 Rnd2 Dontay Corleone
Dontay Corleone at Round 2, Pick 24 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick88 Rnd3 Drew Allar
Drew Allar in slot 88 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick120 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
A slide stopped in the Round 4 slot, with Malachi Moore worth more than the price. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick155 Rnd5 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins at No. 155 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick216 Rnd7 Oronde Gadsden II
A straight-up fair deal on Oronde Gadsden II at pick No. 216, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
