Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Texans: B.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Texans took Thor Griffith at pick No. 167, roughly 142 spots before his name belonged. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

The Walker pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the running back spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In No. 25 they get a difference-maker at receiver at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick58 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker in Round 2, Pick 26 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick89 Rnd3 Jalon Walker
You do not let a linebacker like Jalon Walker reach slot 89 and blink. They did not. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick127 Rnd4 Savion Williams
Savion Williams at the 127th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick167 Rnd5 Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith at the 167th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick243 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
Circle this one: Jordan Hancock at pick 243 is a fall that decides a draft. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
