Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Texans a B.

Nobody had Thor Griffith this high, and it is not close. The Texans reached 66 spots to get him at No. 243. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

Winston Jr. falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain.

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

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
You do not let a wide receiver like Tetairoa McMillan reach pick 25 and blink. They did not. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick58 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson in the Round 2 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick89 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Deone Walker at slot 89 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick127 Rnd4 Mason Taylor
Somehow Mason Taylor was still sitting there in pick No. 127, and they pounced on premier tight end value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick167 Rnd5 Kevin Winston Jr.
The board fumbled Kevin Winston Jr. all the way to the 167th overall pick, and they scooped it up. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick243 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
A wild overpay on Thor Griffith in No. 243, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
