Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Texans: B-.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Texans did exactly that with Jackson Slater in the 79th overall pick. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Mafah. Running back is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In the 25th overall pick they get a seam-stretching tight end, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
A straight-up fair deal on Donovan Jackson at the 58th pick, value and slot in agreement. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick79 Rnd3 Jackson Slater
Jackson Slater at Round 3, Pick 15 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick89 Rnd3 Savion Williams
Savion Williams at pick No. 89 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick166 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
A real head-scratcher, JJ Pegues in slot 166 is miles ahead of his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick236 Rnd7 Phil Mafah
Nice patience on Phil Mafah, who had no business lasting to No. 236. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick241 Rnd7 Jalen Travis
Value said wait; Jalen Travis in pick No. 241 says they were not listening. It fills a real need, too.
