Draft Grade — Texans
Overall C+

The Texans did enough to get by: C+.

The Texans went off the board in a big way for Jayden Higgins, 32 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Williams pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with running back the one that mattered most.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Jayden Higgins
In the Round 1 slot they get a home-run threat at receiver, though the board says they badly overpaid. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick58 Rnd2 Deone Walker
They reached a country mile for Deone Walker at Round 2, Pick 26, and the board is aghast. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick79 Rnd3 Cameron Williams
Cameron Williams in the 79th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It fills a real need, too.
Pick89 Rnd3 Jared Wilson
The board had cheaper options than Jared Wilson at No. 89, and it noticed. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick166 Rnd5 DJ Giddens
DJ Giddens in slot 166 is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick236 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Isaac TeSlaa. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick241 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Hayden Conner. A need, and now a little less of one.
