Draft Grade — Texans
Overall D+
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesF FutureD-
The Texans bled value on every deal, hence the D+.

The Texans clearly saw something nobody else did in Jayson Jones, taking him 142 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. A weekend that fought the value and lost, hence the D+.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it.

The bill for those future picks comes due whether the class hits or not. The roster is better shaped than it was, with running back chief among the fixes.

The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
They paid sticker price for Dallas Turner in No. 12, and that is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick59 Rnd2 Trey Benson
A reach for Trey Benson in the 59th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick66 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil at pick No. 66 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick76 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
No edge and no loss on Cooper Beebe in slot 76; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick124 Rnd4 James Williams
They paid up for James Williams at the Round 4 slot when waiting would have done the job. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick128 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott at Round 4, Pick 28 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick161 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
They did well to land Jaylin Simpson in pick No. 161, just ahead of his grade. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick178 Rnd6 Jayson Jones
Jayson Jones at slot 178 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
