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

The Texans ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Grant.

Running back was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In the 31st overall pick they get a run-stuffing presence up front at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick58 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
No drama and no debate, Donovan Jackson went about where he belonged in slot 58. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick66 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
They paid sticker price for Tate Ratledge in No. 66, and that is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick79 Rnd3 Isaiah Bond
Isaiah Bond in the 79th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick90 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba at pick No. 90 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick166 Rnd5 DJ Giddens
DJ Giddens at Round 5, Pick 28 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick201 Rnd6 Jason Marshall Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Jason Marshall Jr. at the Round 6 slot, value and slot in agreement. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick236 Rnd7 Carson Vinson
Nice patience on Carson Vinson, who had no business lasting to pick 236. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick241 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
Isaac TeSlaa slipping to slot 241 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick257 Rnd7 Roc Taylor
Roc Taylor at No. 257 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
