Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans won the night they stopped White III from sliding. Grade: B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Ricky White III slide, and the Texans were the ones holding the card at slot 243. Highway robbery.

The Alexander pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In the 25th overall pick they get a seam-stretching tight end at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick58 Rnd2 Jonah Savaiinaea
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jonah Savaiinaea at the 58th pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick89 Rnd3 Darius Alexander
This one needs a full-page explanation: Darius Alexander in pick No. 89, miles early. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick127 Rnd4 Savion Williams
The board fumbled Savion Williams all the way to slot 127, and they scooped it up. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick167 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
A tidy bit of business in No. 167, where Bhayshul Tuten graded well above the range. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick243 Rnd7 Ricky White III
You do not let a wide receiver like Ricky White III reach Round 7, Pick 25 and blink. They did not. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
