Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans let Skattebo fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Cam Skattebo, the No. 178 name on the board, stolen at pick 235.

Reaching for Stowers left real value on the table behind him. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with running back chief among the fixes.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In pick 19 they get a load in the middle at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick53 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson in No. 53 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick84 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts at the Round 3 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick120 Rnd4 Eli Stowers
Value said wait; Eli Stowers in Round 4, Pick 19 says they were not listening. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick164 Rnd5 Xavier Nwankpa
They left a pile of value on the table to take Xavier Nwankpa this early at pick No. 164. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick235 Rnd7 Cam Skattebo
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Cam Skattebo in slot 235, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
