Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesC+ FutureB+
The Texans robbed the room for Mullings. Final grade: B.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Kalel Mullings tumbling to the Texans in the Round 7 slot is a gift they did not have to think twice about. No fireworks, but a solid B.

They will need James to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In pick No. 25 they get a disruptive interior force at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick79 Rnd3 Jordan James
They talked themselves into Jordan James at slot 79, and the board did not agree. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick89 Rnd3 Mason Taylor
Value with a capital V on Mason Taylor in Round 3, Pick 25, a genuine coup. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick166 Rnd5 Ollie Gordon II
They paid a round early for Ollie Gordon II in No. 166, more than the board wanted. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick236 Rnd7 Kalel Mullings
Kalel Mullings at the Round 7 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick241 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
Teddye Buchanan in the 241st pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
