Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Grayson Murphy at slot 123, a reach of 45 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped running back, which is a strange place to end up. The Walker pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In slot 23 they get a ballhawk on the outside, and a steal at that. More want than need.
Pick59 Rnd2 Devontez Walker
Devontez Walker in Round 2, Pick 27 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick85 Rnd3 Matt Goncalves
They talked themselves into Matt Goncalves at No. 85, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick123 Rnd4 Grayson Murphy
Value said wait; Grayson Murphy in the 123rd pick says they were not listening. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick127 Rnd4 Zion Tupuola-Fetui
Zion Tupuola-Fetui at pick 127 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick164 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
Jordan Jefferson in pick No. 164 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
