Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Texans: B-.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Shemar Turner at pick No. 89 is 80 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline.

The Winston Jr. pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
In the 25th pick they get a green-dot type in the middle. A real need, handled.
Pick58 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
Aireontae Ersery at Round 2, Pick 26 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It fills a real need, too.
Pick89 Rnd3 Shemar Turner
Shemar Turner at pick 89 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick126 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
A safety of that caliber at No. 126 is the definition of value, full stop. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick165 Rnd5 Roc Taylor
Roc Taylor at the Round 5 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick241 Rnd7 Terrance Ferguson
Circle this one: Terrance Ferguson at the 241st overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
