Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The war room fell hard for Jackson Slater, and it showed at the 79th pick: 73 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. However the rest shakes out, Membou at that price is a win they earned. The roster is better shaped than it was, with running back chief among the fixes.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Armand Membou
In slot 25 they get an anchor for the offensive line, and a steal at that.
Pick58 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
Aireontae Ersery is a better player than pick 58 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The roster fit checks out.
Pick79 Rnd3 Jackson Slater
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jackson Slater this early at pick No. 79. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick89 Rnd3 Savion Williams
No drama and no debate, Savion Williams went about where he belonged in No. 89. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick166 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. in Round 5, Pick 28 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick236 Rnd7 Desmond Watson
No edge and no loss on Desmond Watson in the 236th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick241 Rnd7 Phil Mafah
A slide stopped in slot 241, with Phil Mafah worth more than the price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
