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

The Thor Griffith pick is the one that will follow the Texans into the fall. They took him 75 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

Walker at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In the 25th overall pick they get a go-to option on the outside, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick58 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Taking Jalon Walker in the 58th pick is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick79 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild at Round 3, Pick 15 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick89 Rnd3 Jackson Slater
Jackson Slater at pick 89 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick166 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
A real head-scratcher, JJ Pegues in the Round 5 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick236 Rnd7 Jalen Travis
Jalen Travis at pick No. 236 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick241 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
A big swing on Thor Griffith at slot 241, well ahead of any board in the building. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
