Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Texans, and a B- to prove it.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Cam Jackson at No. 167 is 54 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The roster is better shaped than it was, with running back chief among the fixes.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Booker
In pick No. 25 they get an anchor for the offensive line, though they paid up to get him. A real need, handled.
Pick58 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Alfred Collins. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick94 Rnd3 Jake Majors
Jake Majors at the 94th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick127 Rnd4 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A big swing on Dont'e Thornton Jr. at pick 127, well ahead of any board in the building. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick167 Rnd5 Cam Jackson
A wild overpay on Cam Jackson in the Round 5 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick217 Rnd6 Hayden Conner
Hayden Conner in Round 6, Pick 39 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick243 Rnd7 Marcus Yarns
Marcus Yarns in No. 243 is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
