Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Texans, and a B- to prove it.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Texans spent slot 167 on Teddye Buchanan, a name the board had a full 65 spots lower. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

That Edwards pick is the receipt they will wave around later. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They left with running back solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In No. 25 they get a go-to option on the outside at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
A wild overpay on Donovan Jackson in the 58th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick89 Rnd3 Jacob Parrish
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jacob Parrish this early at pick 89. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick127 Rnd4 Rylie Mills
No drama and no debate, Rylie Mills went about where he belonged in the 127th pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick167 Rnd5 Teddye Buchanan
Teddye Buchanan at the Round 5 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick243 Rnd7 Donovan Edwards
Taking Donovan Edwards in pick No. 243 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
