Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans robbed the room for Carter. Final grade: B-.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Texans watched Barrett Carter slide 79 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

They are betting Roberts proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In the 25th overall pick they get an anchor for the defensive front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick57 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Donovan Jackson well ahead of where he belonged. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick89 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Andrew Mukuba at No. 89. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick126 Rnd4 Jaeden Roberts
Jaeden Roberts in pick No. 126 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick164 Rnd5 Barrett Carter
Steal is underselling it; Barrett Carter at the 164th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick241 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
Circle this one: Ollie Gordon II at pick 241 is a fall that decides a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
