Draft Grade — Texans
Overall D-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureC
The Texans won the night they stopped Allar from sliding. Grade: D-.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Texans spent the 96th overall pick on Gunnar Helm, a name the board had a full 58 spots lower.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Allar. The trades bled value they could not afford to lose.

The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In Round 1, Pick 29 they get a wrecking ball inside, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick32 Rnd1 Landon Jackson
In pick No. 32 they get juice off the edge. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick61 Rnd2 Wyatt Milum
The board fumbled Wyatt Milum all the way to the Round 2 slot, and they scooped it up. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick62 Rnd2 Devin Neal
No drama and no debate, Devin Neal went about where he belonged in No. 62. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick64 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
They left a pile of value on the table to take Nick Emmanwori this early at Round 2, Pick 32. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick93 Rnd3 Lander Barton
A tidy little value on Lander Barton in slot 93, a step better than break-even. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick94 Rnd3 Evan Stewart
They paid sticker price for Evan Stewart in pick No. 94, and that is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick96 Rnd3 Gunnar Helm
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Gunnar Helm. It fills a real need, too.
Pick130 Rnd4 Tacario Davis
Steal is underselling it; Tacario Davis at the 130th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick131 Rnd4 Drew Allar
Drew Allar in No. 131 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick162 Rnd5 Ja'Quinden Jackson
Taking Ja'Quinden Jackson in pick 162 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.
Pick243 Rnd7 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins in the Round 7 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
