Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Texans: B-.

Some picks age like wine; Desmond Watson at No. 166 will need to, sitting 70 spots clear of his grade. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

The running back hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Warren pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but running back.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In the Round 1 slot they get a red-zone target to build around, outstanding value to boot.
Pick58 Rnd2 Marcus Mbow
Marcus Mbow in Round 2, Pick 26 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick79 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
A clean, defensible pick in No. 79 with a little surplus value in Tate Ratledge. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick89 Rnd3 Savion Williams
A straight-up fair deal on Savion Williams at pick 89, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick166 Rnd5 Desmond Watson
Desmond Watson at the 166th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick236 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
No edge and no loss on Cam Jackson in the 236th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick241 Rnd7 Jalen Travis
A big swing on Jalen Travis at the 241st pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
