Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Texans, and a B- to prove it.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Texans spent Round 7, Pick 27 on Adam Randall, a name the board had a full 32 spots lower.

They banked enough surplus on Lew to cover a lot of smaller sins. Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Max Iheanachor
In No. 28 they get a plug-and-play piece up front, a steep price for the projection. A real need, handled.
Pick38 Rnd2 Caleb Banks
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Caleb Banks. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick59 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
They barely believed it either: Anthony Hill Jr. still on the board at the Round 2 slot. The roster fit checks out.
Pick69 Rnd3 Chase Bisontis
No edge and no loss on Chase Bisontis in the 69th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick106 Rnd4 Connor Lew
Circle this one: Connor Lew at pick 106 is a fall that decides a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick141 Rnd5 Tanner Koziol
They reached a country mile for Tanner Koziol at pick No. 141, and the board is aghast. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick167 Rnd5 Domani Jackson
They jumped the gun on Domani Jackson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick243 Rnd7 Adam Randall
Adam Randall in the Round 7 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
