Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Texans: B.

The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named running back, a need the Texans walked right past. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

If Holker pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They banked enough surplus on Paul to cover a lot of smaller sins.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Troy Franklin
No drama and no debate, Troy Franklin went about where he belonged in Round 1, Pick 23. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick59 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Patrick Paul at the Round 2 slot is the proof. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick85 Rnd3 McKinnley Jackson
A straight-up fair deal on McKinnley Jackson at pick 85, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick124 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara at the 124th pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the edge rusher. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick128 Rnd4 Dallin Holker
Dallin Holker in No. 128 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick161 Rnd5 Grayson Murphy
Grayson Murphy at slot 161 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
