Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named edge rusher, a need the Texans walked right past.

The Jackson value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The roster is better shaped than it was, with running back chief among the fixes.

The skill positions did well by the weekend.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Colston Loveland
In slot 25 they get a matchup weapon at tight end at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick58 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
They did well to land TreVeyon Henderson in pick No. 58, just ahead of his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick79 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Donovan Jackson at No. 79 is the proof. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick89 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Nothing to complain about; Deone Walker went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick166 Rnd5 Chase Lundt
No edge and no loss on Chase Lundt in pick 166; it is a wash and a sensible one. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick236 Rnd7 Ricky White III
A quiet steal in the 236th pick: Ricky White III for less than the market said. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick241 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
By-the-book stuff, Isaac TeSlaa at the 241st overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
