Powerful DRAFTING FOR THETexans
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Texans
Overall
B-
ValueC+

FutureB-
The Texans kept it disciplined and banked a B-. Boards are made to be trusted, and the Texans shredded theirs for Jackson Slater. He came off 70 spots early, and the room will hear about it.
A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Jalon Walker
In the 25th pick they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick58
Rnd2
Marcus Mbow
A reasonable price with a little left over, Marcus Mbow in slot 58. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick79
Rnd3
Jackson Slater
A real head-scratcher, Jackson Slater in the Round 3 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick89
Rnd3
Savion Williams
Savion Williams in the 89th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick166
Rnd5
Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins
Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins at Round 5, Pick 28 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick236
Rnd7
Cam Jackson
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 236 with a little surplus value in Cam Jackson. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick241
Rnd7
Jalen Travis
Value said wait; Jalen Travis in pick No. 241 says they were not listening. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
