Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans won the night they stopped Jackson from sliding. Grade: B-.

The Texans' one glaring miss is wide receiver, a need they left exactly as they found it.

Getting Jackson where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. If Hall pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

Running back is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Olaivavega Ioane
In pick 28 they get a long-term starter on the line. A real need, handled.
Pick38 Rnd2 Emmanuel Pregnon
No drama and no debate, Emmanuel Pregnon went about where he belonged in slot 38. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick59 Rnd2 Caleb Banks
Caleb Banks is a better player than the 59th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jadarian Price
Value with a capital V on Jadarian Price in the 69th overall pick, a genuine coup. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick106 Rnd4 Jalon Kilgore
A premium they did not need to pay, Jalon Kilgore a notch or two before his time. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick128 Rnd4 Michael Trigg
Nothing to complain about; Michael Trigg went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick165 Rnd5 Domani Jackson
Taking Domani Jackson in pick 165 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick243 Rnd7 Jalen Catalon
They did well to land Jalen Catalon in pick No. 243, just ahead of his grade. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick244 Rnd7 Jordan Hall
Jordan Hall in the 244th overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
