Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Texans.

The Texans looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Myles Murphy at slot 128 regardless, 90 picks early. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.

Running back was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
A reach for Ennis Rakestraw Jr. in the 23rd overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick47 Rnd2 Roman Wilson
Roman Wilson at the 47th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jaylen Wright
Jaylen Wright at the Round 3 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick124 Rnd4 James Williams
James Williams at Round 4, Pick 24 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick128 Rnd4 Myles Murphy
Myles Murphy in slot 128 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick236 Rnd7 KT Leveston
They paid sticker price for KT Leveston in No. 236, and that is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick245 Rnd7 Edefuan Ulofoshio
They took Edefuan Ulofoshio at par in Round 7, Pick 25, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick250 Rnd7 Jack Westover
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jack Westover. A need, and now a little less of one.
