Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B+
ValueA- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Texans let Dixon fall into their laps, and walked away with a B+.

If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Texans, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend. A dependable weekend that grades out a B+.

The Dixon pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

The O'Cyrus Torrence pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns. The roster is better shaped than it was, with running back chief among the fixes.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In pick 28 they get a three-down second-level presence, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
A reasonable price with a little left over, Dillon Thieneman in the 38th pick. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick59 Rnd2 Caleb Banks
A quiet steal in slot 59: Caleb Banks for less than the market said. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick69 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
They read the board right and Eli Stowers was the payoff at the Round 3 slot. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick128 Rnd4 Mike Washington Jr.
Mike Washington Jr. at pick No. 128 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick165 Rnd5 Keagen Trost
A tidy bit of business in Round 5, Pick 27, where Keagen Trost graded well above the range. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick243 Rnd7 Zavion Thomas
Nice patience on Zavion Thomas, who had no business lasting to slot 243. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick244 Rnd7 Thaddeus Dixon
They barely believed it either: Thaddeus Dixon still on the board at pick 244. A minor itch, scratched.
