Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Texans and Carter: B-.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Barrett Carter, the No. 85 name on the board, stolen at the 126th pick. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

Every board in the league had Jackson lower, and that gap is the story. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back.

Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In the 25th overall pick they get an anchor for the defensive front at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick57 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Donovan Jackson this early at pick No. 57. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick89 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
The board had Andrew Mukuba higher than slot 89, and the safety fell to them anyway. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick126 Rnd4 Barrett Carter
Steal is underselling it; Barrett Carter at the Round 4 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick164 Rnd5 Eli Stowers
By-the-book stuff, Eli Stowers at the 164th pick squarely in line with his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick241 Rnd7 Shilo Sanders
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Shilo Sanders. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
