Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in No. 155 lands the Texans a B, Allar and all.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Drew Allar, slot 155, roughly 65 picks past where he belonged. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
Emeka Egbuka in the Round 1 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick41 Rnd2 Denzel Burke
Denzel Burke in No. 41 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick56 Rnd2 Jack Sawyer
Jack Sawyer at pick 56 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick88 Rnd3 T.J. Sanders
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on T.J. Sanders. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick120 Rnd4 Wyatt Milum
Good price on Wyatt Milum in pick No. 120, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick155 Rnd5 Drew Allar
Taking Drew Allar in Round 5, Pick 27 is close to grand larceny; a quarterback that good had no business lasting this long. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick216 Rnd7 Hunter Wohler
Hunter Wohler at the 216th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
