Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Texans: B-.

The Texans put a flag in the ground for Jackson Slater, 60 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back. That Golden pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In the 25th pick they get a No. 1 receiver, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick58 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson in the 58th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick79 Rnd3 Elijah Arroyo
Elijah Arroyo in Round 3, Pick 15 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick89 Rnd3 Jackson Slater
A real head-scratcher, Jackson Slater in pick No. 89 is miles ahead of his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick166 Rnd5 Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins
A big swing on Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins at slot 166, well ahead of any board in the building. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick236 Rnd7 Desmond Watson
Desmond Watson at No. 236 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick241 Rnd7 Jalen Travis
They reached into another round for Jalen Travis, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It fills a real need, too.
