Powerful DRAFTING FOR THETexans
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Texans
Overall
B
ValueA-

FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Texans: B. The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Texans watched Jalen Royals slide 64 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.
Every board in the league had Griffith lower, and that gap is the story. They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Kenneth Grant
In pick 25 they get an anchor for the defensive front. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick58
Rnd2
Tyler Warren
Circle this one: Tyler Warren at pick No. 58 is a fall that decides a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick89
Rnd3
Tyler Booker
They robbed the room for Tyler Booker here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick127
Rnd4
Jalen Royals
Jalen Royals at pick 127 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick167
Rnd5
Billy Bowman Jr.
Billy Bowman Jr. at slot 167 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick243
Rnd7
Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith in the 243rd pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
