Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Texans worked the phones like thieves and earned a B+.

The trade table was a mismatch, and the Texans were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. They are betting Hall proves the room right and everyone else wrong. Adding Morgan Moses by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Christen Miller
In the 30th overall pick they get a disruptive interior force. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick38 Rnd2 Olaivavega Ioane
A straight-up fair deal on Olaivavega Ioane at pick No. 38, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick59 Rnd2 Jake Slaughter
The board had Jake Slaughter higher than slot 59, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jadarian Price
They let Jadarian Price come to them and pounced at No. 69. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick106 Rnd4 Kaytron Allen
Kaytron Allen at Round 4, Pick 6 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick125 Rnd4 J.C. Davis
J.C. Davis at pick 125 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick166 Rnd5 DJ Campbell
DJ Campbell in the 166th pick is fair value, right on his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick223 Rnd7 Brandon Inniss
They took Brandon Inniss at par in the Round 7 slot, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick243 Rnd7 Haynes King
By-the-book stuff, Haynes King at pick 243 squarely in line with his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick244 Rnd7 Jordan Hall
A reach on Jordan Hall in Round 7, Pick 28; the board had better options right there. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
