Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in pick No. 167 lands the Texans a B, Bowman Jr. and all.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Billy Bowman Jr., No. 167, roughly 46 picks past where he belonged. The bottom line is a respectable B.

The running back hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In the 25th pick they get a wrecking ball inside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick58 Rnd2 Jonah Savaiinaea
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jonah Savaiinaea at the Round 2 slot. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick89 Rnd3 Tez Johnson
They took Tez Johnson at par in pick No. 89, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick127 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Emery Jones Jr. at the 127th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick167 Rnd5 Billy Bowman Jr.
Somehow Billy Bowman Jr. was still sitting there in No. 167, and they pounced on premier safety value. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick243 Rnd7 Ricky White III
Ricky White III in pick 243 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
