Draft Grade — Texans

More right than wrong for the Texans, and a B- to prove it.

The David Ugwoegbu selection is the head-turner. The Texans reached 81 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped running back, which is a strange place to end up. The Bullock pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In Round 1, Pick 23 they get an island corner at fair value.
Pick59 Rnd2 Ruke Orhorhoro
Ruke Orhorhoro in slot 59 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick86 Rnd3 Calen Bullock
A tidy bit of business in the 86th pick, where Calen Bullock graded well above the range. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick124 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
They took Johnny Wilson at par in the Round 4 slot, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick128 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
They paid up for Tommy Eichenberg at pick 128 when waiting would have done the job. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick236 Rnd7 KT Leveston
KT Leveston at pick No. 236 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick245 Rnd7 David Ugwoegbu
Value said wait; David Ugwoegbu in Round 7, Pick 25 says they were not listening. This was not a hole anyone had circled.
Pick250 Rnd7 Brevyn Spann-Ford
They read the board right and Brevyn Spann-Ford was the payoff at the 250th pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
