Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Texans.

The Texans clearly saw something nobody else did in Jackson Slater, taking him 60 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced.

Leaving running back unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Golden pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the running back spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In the 25th pick they get a weapon on the perimeter, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick58 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at the 58th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick79 Rnd3 Cameron Williams
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Cameron Williams in No. 79. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick89 Rnd3 Jackson Slater
Jackson Slater at pick 89 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick166 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
They reached into another round for JJ Pegues, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick236 Rnd7 Kitan Crawford
They went early on Kitan Crawford in pick No. 236, and the value did not follow. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick241 Rnd7 Jalen Travis
They reached a country mile for Jalen Travis at No. 241, and the board is aghast. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
