Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in the Round 7 slot: the Texans steal Skattebo and grade out a B.

The Texans did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Cam Skattebo fell into pick 235. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

Every board in the league had Stowers lower, and that gap is the story. The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Job largely done: running back settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In pick 19 they get a run-stuffing presence up front at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick53 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker in No. 53 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick84 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
Circle this one: Xavier Watts at Round 3, Pick 20 is a fall that decides a draft. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick120 Rnd4 Eli Stowers
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Eli Stowers. The roster fit checks out.
Pick164 Rnd5 Xavier Nwankpa
They talked themselves into Xavier Nwankpa at pick No. 164, and the board did not agree. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick235 Rnd7 Cam Skattebo
A running back of that caliber at slot 235 is the definition of value, full stop. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
