Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Texans.

The Texans went off the board in a big way for Thor Griffith, 67 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

The Bowman Jr. pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. That running back hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a disruptive interior force. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick58 Rnd2 Marcus Mbow
Marcus Mbow at pick 58 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick89 Rnd3 Savion Williams
They jumped the gun on Savion Williams, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick127 Rnd4 Oronde Gadsden II
They went early on Oronde Gadsden II in slot 127, and the value did not follow. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick167 Rnd5 Billy Bowman Jr.
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Billy Bowman Jr. in No. 167, plain and simple. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick243 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
A real head-scratcher, Thor Griffith in the Round 7 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
