Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans cashed the board's mistake on Campbell: B-.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Texans watched Jihaad Campbell slide 47 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

The running back hole is the one line item this class does not answer. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with interior defensive lineman the one that mattered most.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In pick No. 19 they get a potential shutdown corner at fair value.
Pick55 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren slid further than he should have, and No. 55 is lovely value for the tight end. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick86 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
Circle this one: Jihaad Campbell at Round 3, Pick 22 is a fall that decides a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick122 Rnd4 Jake Majors
Jake Majors at pick 122 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick164 Rnd5 Rylie Mills
Rylie Mills at the 164th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick239 Rnd7 DJ Campbell
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, DJ Campbell in the Round 7 slot, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
