Draft Grade — Texans
Overall D
ValueB+ NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Texans and Styles: D.

You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Texans did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high.

A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want. Milum has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

The Styles pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. Running back is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and tight end is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In slot 24 they get a green-dot type in the middle. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tacario Davis
Tacario Davis in the Round 2 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick42 Rnd2 Jack Sawyer
Taking Jack Sawyer in No. 42 is close to grand larceny; an edge rusher that good had no business lasting this long. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick63 Rnd2 Deion Burks
Deion Burks at pick 63 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick88 Rnd3 Wyatt Milum
A premium they did not need to pay, Wyatt Milum a notch or two before his time. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick95 Rnd3 DJ Giddens
DJ Giddens at the 95th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick120 Rnd4 Sonny Styles
The board fumbled Sonny Styles all the way to pick 120, and they scooped it up. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick155 Rnd5 Alfred Collins
By-the-book stuff, Alfred Collins at the 155th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick216 Rnd7 Jalon Daniels
Jalon Daniels is a better player than the 216th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
