Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Wilson should have been long gone. The Texans pounced, and earned a B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Jared Wilson, Round 4, Pick 26, roughly 21 picks past where he belonged.

They will regret leaving running back for another day if the season turns on it. Hemingway has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but running back.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In pick 25 they get a difference-maker at receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick58 Rnd2 Marcus Mbow
Marcus Mbow at the 58th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick89 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
By-the-book stuff, Andrew Mukuba at slot 89 squarely in line with his ranking. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick127 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
They barely believed it either: Jared Wilson still on the board at the 127th pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick167 Rnd5 Quincy Riley
They paid sticker price for Quincy Riley in No. 167, and that is fine. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick243 Rnd7 Tonka Hemingway
They jumped the gun on Tonka Hemingway, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
