Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesA FutureD+
The Texans did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The Texans spent real capital to be 42 picks early on Christian Jones, and the board is going to hold them to it. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The trade work was a quiet net positive.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Byron Murphy II
In slot 18 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick47 Rnd2 Roman Wilson
Roman Wilson at pick 47 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick74 Rnd3 Blake Corum
Blake Corum at Round 3, Pick 10 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick116 Rnd4 DJ James
A clean, defensible pick in the 116th overall pick with a little surplus value in DJ James. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick128 Rnd4 James Williams
No drama and no debate, James Williams went about where he belonged in the Round 4 slot. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick134 Rnd4 Jaylen Wright
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jaylen Wright well ahead of where he belonged. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick161 Rnd5 Christian Jones
Christian Jones at Round 5, Pick 25 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
