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

The Texans did not so much draft Desmond Watson as overpay for him, 70 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. That Warren pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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 moveable chess piece at tight end, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick58 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at the Round 2 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick79 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge at No. 79 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick89 Rnd3 Savion Williams
Savion Williams in the 89th pick is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick166 Rnd5 Desmond Watson
Desmond Watson at the 166th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick236 Rnd7 Phil Mafah
Phil Mafah at pick 236 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick241 Rnd7 Jalen Travis
Value said wait; Jalen Travis in the Round 7 slot says they were not listening. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
