Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Texans: B-.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Jalen Travis at the 241st pick, a reach of 48 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. Landing Jackson that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

Job largely done: running back settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered. The skill positions did well by the weekend.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In pick 25 they get a matchup weapon at tight end, and a steal at that.
Pick58 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
Nice patience on Aireontae Ersery, who had no business lasting to the 58th pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick79 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at the 79th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick89 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Fair-plus on Deone Walker, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick166 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They paid up for Dont'e Thornton Jr. at Round 5, Pick 28 when waiting would have done the job. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick236 Rnd7 Phil Mafah
They read the board right and Phil Mafah was the payoff at No. 236. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick241 Rnd7 Jalen Travis
They reached into another round for Jalen Travis, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
