Draft Grade — Texans
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureB-
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Texans to a D-.

Nobody had Nick Martin this high, and it is not close. The Texans reached 54 spots to get him at No. 221. It grades a D-, and the process earned it.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. That Campbell pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The Texans clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.

It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In the 25th overall pick they get a weapon on the perimeter, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick36 Rnd2 Colston Loveland
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Colston Loveland at No. 36 is the proof. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick58 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell in slot 58 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick67 Rnd3 Dylan Sampson
Fair-plus on Dylan Sampson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick69 Rnd3 Deone Walker
A reach on Deone Walker in Round 3, Pick 5; the board had better options right there. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick88 Rnd3 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. at pick 88 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick89 Rnd3 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson at No. 89 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick97 Rnd3 Denzel Burke
They talked themselves into Denzel Burke at Round 3, Pick 33, and the board did not agree. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick104 Rnd4 Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild in the Round 4 slot is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick139 Rnd5 Logan Brown
By-the-book stuff, Logan Brown at the 139th pick squarely in line with his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick144 Rnd5 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
They went early on Antwaun Powell-Ryland in pick 144, and the value did not follow. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick166 Rnd5 Tahj Brooks
Tahj Brooks at the 166th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick221 Rnd7 Nick Martin
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Nick Martin. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick236 Rnd7 Donovan Smith
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Donovan Smith well ahead of where he belonged. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick241 Rnd7 Sam Brown Jr.
Sam Brown Jr. in the Round 7 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
