Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The Texans torched the value chart for Jalen Travis, taking him 47 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.

Mafah at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Job largely done: running back settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a red-zone target to build around, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick58 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson in pick 58 is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick79 Rnd3 Cameron Williams
Cameron Williams at the Round 3 slot is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick89 Rnd3 Savion Williams
Savion Williams at pick No. 89 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick166 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
They talked themselves into JJ Pegues at slot 166, and the board did not agree. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick236 Rnd7 Phil Mafah
They let Phil Mafah come to them and pounced at the 236th overall pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick241 Rnd7 Jalen Travis
They reached a country mile for Jalen Travis at pick No. 241, and the board is aghast. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
