Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Texans: B-.

The Phillip Webb selection is the head-turner. The Texans reached 104 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Booker
In pick No. 25 they get a plug-and-play piece up front, reach and all. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins at No. 58 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick79 Rnd3 Darius Alexander
A premium they did not need to pay, Darius Alexander a notch or two before his time. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick89 Rnd3 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson in the 89th pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It fills a real need, too.
Pick166 Rnd5 DJ Giddens
No drama and no debate, DJ Giddens went about where he belonged in slot 166. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick236 Rnd7 Jermari Harris
Good price on Jermari Harris in pick 236, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick241 Rnd7 Phillip Webb
They left a pile of value on the table to take Phillip Webb this early at the 241st pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
