Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans cashed the board's mistake on Skattebo: B.

Somebody in slot 241 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Texans sat still while Cam Skattebo, the No. 105 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The skill positions did well by the weekend.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
They let Tyler Warren come to them and pounced at No. 25. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick58 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
A offensive lineman of that caliber at pick No. 58 is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick89 Rnd3 Tez Johnson
Tez Johnson at the 89th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick126 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
No drama and no debate, Darius Alexander went about where he belonged in slot 126. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick165 Rnd5 Kevin Winston Jr.
The board fumbled Kevin Winston Jr. all the way to Round 5, Pick 28, and they scooped it up. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick241 Rnd7 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at the 241st pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
