Draft Grade — Texans
Overall C-
ValueF NeedB+ TradesD- FutureB-
The Texans bled value on every deal, hence the C-.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Texans took Aaron Graves a full 124 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. It washes out to a C-, no better and no worse.

The Ramsey pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

The verdict is a shrug for now, with the swing picks left to write the real ending.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Aaron Graves
In the 28th pick they get a run-stuffing presence up front, a steep price for the projection. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick59 Rnd2 Elijah Sarratt
The board had Elijah Sarratt higher than the 59th overall pick, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick69 Rnd3 Quinten Joyner
Quinten Joyner at pick No. 69 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick106 Rnd4 Kamari Ramsey
You do not let a safety like Kamari Ramsey reach Round 4, Pick 6 and blink. They did not. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick128 Rnd4 Caden Curry
Caden Curry in the Round 4 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick165 Rnd5 Mike Washington Jr.
Circle this one: Mike Washington Jr. at No. 165 is a fall that decides a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick243 Rnd7 Tony Grimes
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Tony Grimes at slot 243 is the proof. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick244 Rnd7 Bryce Foster
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Bryce Foster in the 244th overall pick, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
