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

The rest of the league will want that one back. Billy Bowman Jr. tumbling to the Texans in the 167th overall pick is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

Reaching for Griffith left real value on the table behind him. They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
A straight-up fair deal on Kenneth Grant at No. 25, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick58 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
A tight end of that caliber at pick No. 58 is the definition of value, full stop. It fills a real need, too.
Pick89 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge in the 89th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick127 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
They robbed the room for Tez Johnson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick167 Rnd5 Billy Bowman Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Billy Bowman Jr. at slot 167 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick243 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith in the 243rd pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
