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

Everything else got attention, and edge rusher got none. That is a strange way for the Texans to leave a draft. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

Every board in the league had Miller lower, and that gap is the story. That is an offensive lineman worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

Running back was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Blake Miller
In Round 1, Pick 28 they get a plug-and-play piece up front, even if it was a touch early. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Emmanuel Pregnon
A straight-up fair deal on Emmanuel Pregnon at pick 38, value and slot in agreement. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick59 Rnd2 Jadarian Price
They jumped the gun on Jadarian Price, taking him earlier than his grade liked. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick69 Rnd3 Christen Miller
Christen Miller at the Round 3 slot is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick106 Rnd4 Logan Jones
Value with a capital V on Logan Jones in the 106th overall pick, a genuine coup. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick141 Rnd5 Jakobe Thomas
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jakobe Thomas. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick167 Rnd5 Reggie Virgil
They paid sticker price for Reggie Virgil in the 167th pick, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick243 Rnd7 Jaydn Ott
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jaydn Ott in slot 243. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
