Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Texans: B-.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Jonah Coleman at slot 38, a reach of 31 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Kite steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Christen Miller
In pick No. 28 they get a disruptive interior force, though they paid up to get him. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick38 Rnd2 Jonah Coleman
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jonah Coleman in the Round 2 slot, miles early. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick59 Rnd2 Austin Barber
They left a pile of value on the table to take Austin Barber this early at slot 59. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick69 Rnd3 Brian Parker II
They paid sticker price for Brian Parker II in No. 69, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick106 Rnd4 Nicholas Singleton
A quiet steal in the 106th overall pick: Nicholas Singleton for less than the market said. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick128 Rnd4 Jakobe Thomas
Jakobe Thomas in the 128th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick165 Rnd5 Aaron Anderson
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Aaron Anderson. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick243 Rnd7 Antonio Kite
Antonio Kite is a better player than the 243rd overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick244 Rnd7 Owen Heinecke
They took Owen Heinecke at par in pick No. 244, which is nothing to complain about. A pick in search of a role on this roster.
