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

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Texans shredded theirs for Jalen Catalon. He came off 55 spots early, and the room will hear about it. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Miller. A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want.

They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Kenyon Sadiq
In pick No. 28 they get a red-zone target to build around at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick38 Rnd2 Emmanuel Pregnon
They took Emmanuel Pregnon at par in pick 38, which is nothing to complain about. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick59 Rnd2 Christen Miller
They will replay Christen Miller at No. 59 for years; that is how good the value is. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick69 Rnd3 Connor Lew
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Connor Lew at the 69th overall pick is the proof. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick106 Rnd4 Mike Washington Jr.
Mike Washington Jr. at slot 106 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick128 Rnd4 Kyle Louis
Kyle Louis at the Round 4 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The roster fit checks out.
Pick165 Rnd5 Nate Boerkircher
The board had Nate Boerkircher higher than pick 165, and the tight end fell to them anyway. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick243 Rnd7 Robert Spears-Jennings
They left a pile of value on the table to take Robert Spears-Jennings this early at the 243rd pick. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick244 Rnd7 Jalen Catalon
Jalen Catalon in Round 7, Pick 28 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
