Draft Grade — Texans
Overall D-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Texans bled value on every deal, hence the D-.

The Texans clearly saw something nobody else did in Ben Sinnott, taking him 43 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. Hard to defend, and the D- reflects that.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. The Devin White deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

On value alone, Wilson makes the weekend a net positive.

Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Tyler Nubin
In pick 31 they get a ballhawk on the back end. More want than need.
Pick36 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell at the 36th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick39 Rnd2 Byron Murphy II
They paid sticker price for Byron Murphy II in pick No. 39, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe at Round 2, Pick 26 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick90 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
A tidy bit of business in slot 90, where Roman Wilson graded well above the range. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick94 Rnd3 Ben Sinnott
They left a pile of value on the table to take Ben Sinnott this early at the Round 3 slot. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick123 Rnd4 Austin Booker
Value said wait; Austin Booker in the 123rd pick says they were not listening. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick126 Rnd4 Cam Hart
They took Cam Hart at par in No. 126, which is nothing to complain about. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick138 Rnd5 Jaylen Wright
They jumped the gun on Jaylen Wright, taking him earlier than his grade liked. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick177 Rnd6 Christian Jones
Christian Jones at Round 6, Pick 2 is a conviction pick that outran the value. The roster fit checks out.
