Draft Grade — Texans
Overall C+
ValueD+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A mixed bag for the Texans, and a C+ to match.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Marcus Yarns at Round 5, Pick 28, a reach of 76 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. On value alone, Higgins makes the weekend a net positive.

Not a disaster, not a triumph, just a middling class.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Booker
In pick No. 25 they get a cornerstone up front, even if it was a touch early. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Hollin Pierce
A big swing on Hollin Pierce at the 58th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick79 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
A tidy bit of business in No. 79, where Jayden Higgins graded well above the range. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick89 Rnd3 Chris Paul Jr.
A tidy little value on Chris Paul Jr. in pick 89, a step better than break-even. The roster fit checks out.
Pick166 Rnd5 Marcus Yarns
Marcus Yarns at slot 166 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick236 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
They reached into another round for Thor Griffith, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick241 Rnd7 Hunter Wohler
By-the-book stuff, Hunter Wohler at the 241st overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. A minor need, but a need all the same.
