Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Texans turned the phones into found money: B+.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Thor Griffith, 67 picks early at slot 243. The bottom line is a respectable B+.

The Starks value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren slipping to pick 22 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick25 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In the 25th overall pick they get a run-stuffing presence up front at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks at the 58th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick89 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Good price on Donovan Jackson in pick No. 89, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick127 Rnd4 Savion Williams
Savion Williams in the Round 4 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick167 Rnd5 Jackson Slater
Jackson Slater at slot 167 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick243 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
They reached into another round for Thor Griffith, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
