Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans cashed the board's mistake on Higgins: B-.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Jayden Higgins, the No. 56 name on the board, stolen at Round 3, Pick 15. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. They will need Norman-Lott to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. Running back was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Booker
In pick 25 they get a long-term starter on the line, reach and all.
Pick58 Rnd2 Omarr Norman-Lott
A premium they did not need to pay, Omarr Norman-Lott a notch or two before his time. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick79 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
A wide receiver of that caliber at the Round 3 slot is the definition of value, full stop. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick89 Rnd3 Jared Wilson
A reach for Jared Wilson in Round 3, Pick 25; a little patience would have been rewarded. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick166 Rnd5 DJ Giddens
DJ Giddens at the 166th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick236 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
Cam Jackson in pick No. 236 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick241 Rnd7 Jermari Harris
A quiet steal in No. 241: Jermari Harris for less than the market said. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
