Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The Texans bet big and early on Thor Griffith, 67 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

The Winston Jr. pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The running back spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In pick 25 they get a matchup weapon at tight end, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick58 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Donovan Jackson this early at Round 2, Pick 26. The roster fit checks out.
Pick89 Rnd3 Savion Williams
Savion Williams at No. 89 is a conviction pick that outran the value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick127 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
Jordan Phillips slid further than he should have, and the 127th overall pick is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick167 Rnd5 Kevin Winston Jr.
They will replay Kevin Winston Jr. at the Round 5 slot for years; that is how good the value is. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick243 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
They reached a country mile for Thor Griffith at pick No. 243, and the board is aghast. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
