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

The Texans spent real capital to be 59 picks early on Hollin Pierce, and the board is going to hold them to it. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. Running back was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick25 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In pick 25 they get a load in the middle. Exactly the need they had to hit.

A straight-up fair deal on Jayden Higgins at the Round 2 slot, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick79 Rnd3 Hollin Pierce
They reached a country mile for Hollin Pierce at the 79th pick, and the board is aghast. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick89 Rnd3 Jared Wilson
They paid up for Jared Wilson at the 89th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick166 Rnd5 DJ Giddens
They paid sticker price for DJ Giddens in No. 166, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick236 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
A reasonable price with a little left over, Isaac TeSlaa in Round 7, Pick 20. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick241 Rnd7 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
No drama and no debate, Jamon Dumas-Johnson went about where he belonged in slot 241. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
