Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Texans: B-.

The Texans clearly saw something nobody else did in Caden Curry, taking him 61 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

On value alone, Lew makes the weekend a net positive. They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with running back the one that mattered most.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Kenyon Sadiq
In Round 1, Pick 28 they get a matchup weapon at tight end, and a steal at that.
Pick38 Rnd2 Emmanuel Pregnon
Emmanuel Pregnon in the 38th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick59 Rnd2 Caleb Banks
Somehow Caleb Banks was still sitting there in pick 59, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick69 Rnd3 Caden Curry
Caden Curry in pick No. 69 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick106 Rnd4 Connor Lew
They will replay Connor Lew at the Round 4 slot for years; that is how good the value is. It fills a real need, too.
Pick141 Rnd5 Oscar Delp
Oscar Delp in slot 141 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick167 Rnd5 Kaytron Allen
Steal is underselling it; Kaytron Allen at No. 167 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick243 Rnd7 Jalen Catalon
Jalen Catalon at slot 243 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
