Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueA NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans kept it disciplined and banked a B.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Texans spent pick 89 on DeMonte Capehart, a name most had 67 spots down the list. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Mondon Jr.. For all the activity, wide receiver went untouched, which is hard to explain.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the Round 1 slot they get an every-down engine for the run game at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick57 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Somehow Tyler Booker was still sitting there in slot 57, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick89 Rnd3 DeMonte Capehart
DeMonte Capehart at the 89th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick126 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba in pick 126 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick164 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Smael Mondon Jr. in Round 5, Pick 26, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick241 Rnd7 Terrance Ferguson
A tight end of that caliber at the 241st pick is the definition of value, full stop. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
