Draft Grade — Texans
Overall A
ValueA+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Texans cashed the board's mistake on Smith: A.

You build a draft on nights like this. Anthony Smith had no business being available in Round 7, Pick 28, and the Texans did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. They will regret leaving running back for another day if the season turns on it.

In the end it comes back to Carter Smith, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick59 Rnd2 Carter Smith
Circle this one: Carter Smith at pick No. 59 is a fall that decides a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick78 Rnd3 Teitum Tuioti
Teitum Tuioti in the 78th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick123 Rnd4 Iapani Laloulu
Iapani Laloulu at the Round 4 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick127 Rnd4 Trevor Lauck
Somehow Trevor Lauck was still sitting there in the 127th overall pick, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick158 Rnd5 Luke Montgomery
They robbed the room for Luke Montgomery here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick165 Rnd5 A'Mauri Washington
A'Mauri Washington at No. 165 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick185 Rnd6 Kade Pieper
Steal is underselling it; Kade Pieper at Round 6, Pick 6 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick244 Rnd7 Anthony Smith
They barely believed it either: Anthony Smith still on the board at slot 244. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
