Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueA NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Texans for Carter: B.

You could see the war room lean forward. Barrett Carter at pick No. 164 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

They will need Dellinger to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with running back the one that mattered most.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the 25th pick they get a lead back with juice, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick57 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker at Round 2, Pick 25 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It fills a real need, too.
Pick89 Rnd3 Darrell Jackson Jr.
A clean, defensible pick in the 89th overall pick with a little surplus value in Darrell Jackson Jr.. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick126 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. in slot 126 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick164 Rnd5 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter in the Round 5 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick241 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
Garrett Dellinger at pick 241 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
