Texans’ UDFA class among least valuable per 2024 NFL Draft consensus board | Sporting News

The Texans didn’t have the best 2024 NFL Draft, but Houston added necessary pieces as the team looks to make a championship run in 2024.

Houston signed just six undrafted free agents after the team picked nine in the 2024 Draft, splitting between six offensive players and six defensive players.

</p> <table> <thead> <tr> <th>Player</th> <th>Position</th> <th>College</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td>British Brooks</td> <td>RB</td> <td>North Carolina</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Jadon Janke</td> <td>WR</td> <td>South Dakota State</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Jaxon Janke</td> <td>WR</td> <td>South Dakota State</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Pheldarius Payne</td> <td>EDGE</td> <td>Virginia Tech</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Max Tooley</td> <td>LB</td> <td>BYU</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Tarique Barnes</td> <td>LB</td> <td>Illinois</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p>None of those six players ranked in the top 300 of the <a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1u_7bYeFLyPGldL6OqvyEXICH4LCvNZb_iqc2Z3740mo/edit#gid=442280297">consensus 2024 NFL Draft board</a>, per Arif Hasan. Therefore, the combination of the number of players the Texans signed (third-fewest in the NFL) with their valued gave Houston one of the lowest total class grades for undrafted free agents.</p> <p><strong>MORE TEXANS: <a href="https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/news/texans-53-man-roster-predictions/919257d0589283bf4fd0622b" onclick="dataLayer.push({ event: 'element_click', item_type: 'affiliate link', item_id: 'https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/news/texans-53-man-roster-predictions/919257d0589283bf4fd0622b', item_name: '53-man roster predictions, concerns and possible fixes', cta_type: 'contextual_link', cta_id: '' });">53-man roster predictions, concerns and possible fixes</a></strong></p> <h2>Texans’ UDFA class among least valuable</h2> <p>Hasan <a href="https://www.wideleft.football/p/ranking-the-udfa-classes-with-the">compiled</a> the most valuable UDFA class for “Wide Left,” which attributed a number value for each player based on their rankings in the consensus board. So, a higher-ranked player who went undrafted netted the team that signed him more points. The <a href="https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/news/nfl-draft-vikings-top-udfa-class-consensus-board/6cae939bd1842edb22d3b1cd">Vikings ranked first with a total value of 8,943</a>, while the Falcons ranked last with a total value of 1,721.</p> <p>The Texans, meanwhile, ranked 28th on the list with a total value of 3,046. They beat out the Steelers (2,923), Cardinals (1,851) and the aforementioned Falcons.</p> <p>This isn’t the worst thing in the world for Houston. The Texans <a href="https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/news/texans-spend-2024-free-agency/a942e127daee7974945c04c3">spent the sixth-most money</a> in free agency on players like Danielle Hunter, traded for Stefon Diggs and Joe Mixon and <a href="https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/news/nfl-gm-texans-2024-nfl-draft-bread-salad/5ea6284292503cf97336922d">filled in the cracks</a> with a solid draft class.</p> <p><strong>TEXANS 2024 NFL DRAFT: <a href="https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/news/texans-winners-losers-2024-nfl-draft/20407f70f28903e1e7397e1e" onclick="dataLayer.push({ event: 'element_click', item_type: 'affiliate link', item_id: 'https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/news/texans-winners-losers-2024-nfl-draft/20407f70f28903e1e7397e1e', item_name: 'Winners and losers ', cta_type: 'contextual_link', cta_id: '' });">Winners and losers</a></strong></p> <p>More than likely, these UDFAs won’t be more than training camp bodies and/or practice squad players.
