Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Texans and Mukuba: B.

The Texans spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Andrew Mukuba, the No. 87 name on the board, in pick 167. No fireworks, but a solid B.

They are betting Griffith proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The running back hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the running back spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In the 25th overall pick they get a run-stuffing presence up front. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick58 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
You do not let a safety like Malaki Starks reach pick 58 and blink. They did not. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick89 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Fair-plus on Donovan Jackson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Pick127 Rnd4 Savion Williams
Savion Williams in slot 127 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick167 Rnd5 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba in No. 167 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick243 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Thor Griffith. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
