Draft Grade — Texans
Overall C-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The Texans won the night they stopped Johnson from sliding. Grade: C-.

The Texans spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Greg Johnson, the No. 42 name on the board, in the 71st pick. A mixed bag that lands at C-.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

So much rides on Will Echoles that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Will Echoles
In the 7th overall pick they get a run-stuffing presence up front. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick63 Rnd2 Kewan Lacy
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Kewan Lacy at slot 63 is the proof. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick71 Rnd3 Greg Johnson
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Greg Johnson in the 71st pick, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick109 Rnd4 Iapani Laloulu
Iapani Laloulu slid further than he should have, and Round 4, Pick 8 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. The roster fit checks out.
Pick170 Rnd5 Justice Haynes
Justice Haynes at the Round 5 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick189 Rnd6 Desmeal Leigh
Fair-plus on Desmeal Leigh, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick197 Rnd6 Drew Bobo
Value with a capital V on Drew Bobo in No. 197, a genuine coup. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick242 Rnd7 Coleton Price
The board had Coleton Price higher than pick No. 242, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
