Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
The Texans won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Texans took LJ Johnson Jr. at No. 244, roughly 98 spots before his name belonged.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

The Ramsey value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick38 Rnd2 Sonny Styles
They paid sticker price for Sonny Styles in the 38th pick, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick49 Rnd2 Jonah Coleman
A tidy little value on Jonah Coleman in pick No. 49, a step better than break-even. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick59 Rnd2 Kamari Ramsey
They barely believed it either: Kamari Ramsey still on the board at the Round 2 slot. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick69 Rnd3 Domonique Orange
Domonique Orange in pick 69 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick106 Rnd4 Chase Bisontis
The board had cheaper options than Chase Bisontis at Round 4, Pick 6, and it noticed. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick128 Rnd4 Tanner Koziol
Tanner Koziol at slot 128 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick165 Rnd5 Sawyer Robertson
They jumped the gun on Sawyer Robertson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick243 Rnd7 Micah Morris
Micah Morris at pick No. 243 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick244 Rnd7 LJ Johnson Jr.
They left a pile of value on the table to take LJ Johnson Jr. this early at pick 244. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
