Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Texans: B-.

The tape said wait; the Texans did not. Carson Vinson went at No. 89, a good 127 picks before the board was ready.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Bowman Jr.. A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
In pick No. 25 they get the heartbeat of the defense. A real need, handled.
Pick58 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
They read the board right and Xavier Watts was the payoff at the Round 2 slot. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick89 Rnd3 Carson Vinson
Carson Vinson in the 89th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick127 Rnd4 Riley Leonard
They barely believed it either: Riley Leonard still on the board at No. 127. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick167 Rnd5 Billy Bowman Jr.
Billy Bowman Jr. at the 167th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick243 Rnd7 Kyle Monangai
They robbed the room for Kyle Monangai here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
