Draft Grade — Texans

Grand theft in No. 165: the Texans steal Stutsman and grade out a B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Danny Stutsman, the No. 85 name on the board, stolen at pick 165. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

Reaching for Griffith left real value on the table behind him. A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In slot 25 they get a No. 1 receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
They read the board right and Tyler Warren was the payoff at the Round 2 slot. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick89 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts in pick No. 89 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick126 Rnd4 Luke Kandra
They barely believed it either: Luke Kandra still on the board at Round 4, Pick 25. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick165 Rnd5 Danny Stutsman
Steal is underselling it; Danny Stutsman at No. 165 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick241 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
They talked themselves into Thor Griffith at pick 241, and the board did not agree. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
