Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueA+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans let Sanders fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

You could see the war room lean forward. Raheim Sanders at the Round 7 slot is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up. The roster is better shaped than it was, with running back chief among the fixes.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Mason Graham
They will replay Mason Graham at the 25th pick for years; that is how good the value is. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick57 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Somehow Tyler Booker was still sitting there in pick 57, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick89 Rnd3 Colston Loveland
Colston Loveland in the 89th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick126 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
Taking Andrew Mukuba in the Round 4 slot is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick164 Rnd5 Kevin Winston Jr.
A safety of that caliber at Round 5, Pick 26 is the definition of value, full stop. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick241 Rnd7 Raheim Sanders
Raheim Sanders at No. 241 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
