Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Texans: B.

The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named interior defensive lineman, a need the Texans walked right past.

The Royals steal is the beam this whole class leans on. Job largely done: running back settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Mike Green
In the 25th pick they get a quarterback's worst nightmare at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick58 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
They did well to land TreVeyon Henderson in Round 2, Pick 26, just ahead of his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick79 Rnd3 Jalen Royals
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jalen Royals at slot 79. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick89 Rnd3 Barrett Carter
Value with a capital V on Barrett Carter in pick 89, a genuine coup. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
