Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, 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.

They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it. Landing Banks that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Olaivavega Ioane
In pick No. 28 they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value.
Pick38 Rnd2 Blake Miller
They reached into another round for Blake Miller, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick59 Rnd2 Caleb Banks
Caleb Banks slipping to pick 59 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jake Slaughter
Value with a capital V on Jake Slaughter in the 69th pick, a genuine coup. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick106 Rnd4 Mike Washington Jr.
Mike Washington Jr. in slot 106 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick128 Rnd4 Kyle Louis
A real head-scratcher, Kyle Louis in No. 128 is miles ahead of his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick165 Rnd5 Kaleb Proctor
No edge and no loss on Kaleb Proctor in Round 5, Pick 27; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick243 Rnd7 Robert Spears-Jennings
Robert Spears-Jennings at the 243rd pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick244 Rnd7 Jalen Catalon
Jalen Catalon in the Round 7 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
