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 Kameryn Crawford at the Round 3 slot regardless, 24 picks early.

The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Spillman falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

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

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Solomon Tuliaupupu
They went early on Solomon Tuliaupupu in the 28th overall pick, and the value did not follow. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick38 Rnd2 Ryan Wingo
A straight-up fair deal on Ryan Wingo at pick No. 38, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick59 Rnd2 Avery Johnson
They liked Avery Johnson enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 59. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick69 Rnd3 Kameryn Crawford
This one needs a full-page explanation: Kameryn Crawford in No. 69, miles early. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick106 Rnd4 Edwin Spillman
Edwin Spillman in Round 4, Pick 6 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick128 Rnd4 Justin Evans-Jenkins
The board had Justin Evans-Jenkins higher than the 128th pick, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick165 Rnd5 Edrees Farooq
They let Edrees Farooq come to them and pounced at Round 5, Pick 27. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick243 Rnd7 Roderick Robinson II
Roderick Robinson II at pick 243 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick244 Rnd7 Alex Birchmeier
Alex Birchmeier at No. 244 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. The roster fit checks out.
