Draft Grade — Texans

ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Texans and Leonard: B-.

Thirty-one other rooms let Riley Leonard slide, and the Texans were the ones holding the card at pick No. 216. Highway robbery.

The cost of the Collins reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They will regret leaving running back for another day if the season turns on it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In No. 24 they get a weapon on the perimeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Barrett Carter
They took Barrett Carter at par in the 41st pick, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick56 Rnd2 Rod Moore
A reach for Rod Moore in pick No. 56; a little patience would have been rewarded. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick88 Rnd3 Jason Marshall Jr.
They paid up for Jason Marshall Jr. at the Round 3 slot when waiting would have done the job. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick120 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
A offensive lineman of that caliber at pick 120 is the definition of value, full stop. It fills a real need, too.
Pick155 Rnd5 Alfred Collins
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Alfred Collins. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick216 Rnd7 Riley Leonard
Circle this one: Riley Leonard at slot 216 is a fall that decides a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
