Draft Grade — Texans
Overall C+
ValueC- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A mixed bag for the Texans, and a C+ to match.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Texans spent No. 245 on Jack Westover, a name the board had a full 76 spots lower.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Gore Jr.. The roster is better shaped than it was, with running back chief among the fixes.

Hit on T'Vondre Sweat and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 T'Vondre Sweat
In the Round 1 slot they get a wrecking ball inside, a steep price for the projection. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick59 Rnd2 Kamren Kinchens
They did well to land Kamren Kinchens in slot 59, just ahead of his grade. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick86 Rnd3 DJ James
They paid sticker price for DJ James in Round 3, Pick 23, and that is fine. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick124 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
No edge and no loss on Cedric Gray in pick 124; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick128 Rnd4 Ainias Smith
Ainias Smith in the 128th pick is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick236 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
A quiet steal in No. 236: Frank Gore Jr. for less than the market said. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick245 Rnd7 Jack Westover
They talked themselves into Jack Westover at the Round 7 slot, and the board did not agree. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick250 Rnd7 David Ugwoegbu
A real head-scratcher, David Ugwoegbu in slot 250 is miles ahead of his ranking. Hard to map this one onto the depth chart at all.
