Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The Texans went off the board in a big way for Logan Brown, 64 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Simon. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Armand Membou
In pick No. 25 they get a building block for the line at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick58 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins at the 58th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick79 Rnd3 Logan Brown
Logan Brown at Round 3, Pick 15 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The roster fit checks out.
Pick89 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins in the Round 3 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick166 Rnd5 Cody Simon
They robbed the room for Cody Simon here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick236 Rnd7 Marcus Yarns
They took Marcus Yarns at par in No. 236, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick241 Rnd7 Jalen Travis
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jalen Travis in slot 241, miles early. A need, and now a little less of one.
