Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueC NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Texans.

The Texans clearly saw something nobody else did in Rylie Mills, taking him 58 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. Running back was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In the 25th pick they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick58 Rnd2 Cameron Williams
They went early on Cameron Williams in slot 58, and the value did not follow. It fills a real need, too.
Pick79 Rnd3 Rylie Mills
Rylie Mills at Round 3, Pick 15 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick89 Rnd3 Charles Grant
Charles Grant in No. 89 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick166 Rnd5 Raheim Sanders
They liked Raheim Sanders enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 166. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
