Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Texans.

The Texans looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Thor Griffith at pick No. 243 regardless, 66 picks early. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

Landing Ransom that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. Leaving running back unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but running back.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In the 25th overall pick they get a disruptive interior force. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick58 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker in Round 2, Pick 26 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The roster fit checks out.
Pick89 Rnd3 Savion Williams
They paid up for Savion Williams at slot 89 when waiting would have done the job. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick127 Rnd4 Elijah Arroyo
Steal is underselling it; Elijah Arroyo at the 127th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick167 Rnd5 Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom at No. 167 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick243 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
A big swing on Thor Griffith at the Round 7 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
