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

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Thor Griffith at the Round 7 slot, a reach of 54 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

Getting Bowman Jr. where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back. They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
A tidy bit of business in Round 1, Pick 25, where Tyler Warren graded well above the range. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick58 Rnd2 Tetairoa McMillan
They robbed the room for Tetairoa McMillan here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick89 Rnd3 Jordan Phillips
A real head-scratcher, Jordan Phillips in the 89th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick127 Rnd4 Jackson Slater
Jackson Slater at slot 127 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick167 Rnd5 Billy Bowman Jr.
You do not let a safety like Billy Bowman Jr. reach pick No. 167 and blink. They did not. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick243 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
This one needs a full-page explanation: Thor Griffith in the Round 7 slot, miles early. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
