Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Texans, and a B- to prove it.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Desmond Watson in the Round 5 slot, a good 64 spots before the room expected him.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is McMillan. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They left with running back solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In pick No. 25 they get a security blanket over the middle, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Tetairoa McMillan
Tetairoa McMillan at the 58th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick79 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
They left a pile of value on the table to take Dylan Fairchild this early at Round 3, Pick 15. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick89 Rnd3 Jackson Slater
A real head-scratcher, Jackson Slater in the Round 3 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick166 Rnd5 Desmond Watson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Desmond Watson. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick236 Rnd7 Jalen Travis
A big swing on Jalen Travis at slot 236, well ahead of any board in the building. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick241 Rnd7 Donovan Edwards
Donovan Edwards in pick 241 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
