Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

The Texans did not so much draft Thor Griffith as overpay for him, 67 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend.

The Williams value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In the Round 1 slot they get a security blanket over the middle, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick58 Rnd2 Isaiah Bond
Fair-plus on Isaiah Bond, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick89 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
A reasonable price with a little left over, Donovan Jackson in pick 89. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick127 Rnd4 Savion Williams
A wide receiver of that caliber at No. 127 is the definition of value, full stop. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick167 Rnd5 Robert Spears-Jennings
Robert Spears-Jennings at the 167th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick243 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
A wild overpay on Thor Griffith in the 243rd overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
