Draft Grade — Texans
Overall C+
ValueC- NeedB TradesA+ FutureF
The Texans worked the phones like thieves and earned a C+.

The Texans put a flag in the ground for Jayson Jones, 75 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. It nets out a thoroughly average C+.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. They will answer for taking DT-EDGE early while wide receiver, edge rusher and other spots went begging.

Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Justin Jefferson deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

A perfectly average weekend, for better and for worse.

Pick Analysis
Pick59 Rnd2 Trey Benson
They jumped the gun on Trey Benson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick85 Rnd3 Maason Smith
A surprising call. With wide receiver, edge rusher and other spots still to address, they spent slot 85 on Maason Smith, a DT-EDGE they were not short of.
Pick124 Rnd4 James Williams
A conviction pick on James Williams at the 124th overall pick that the board grades a round light. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick128 Rnd4 Jaylin Simpson
They reached into another round for Jaylin Simpson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick161 Rnd5 Aki Ogunbiyi
A real head-scratcher, Aki Ogunbiyi in pick No. 161 is miles ahead of his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick236 Rnd7 David Ugwoegbu
David Ugwoegbu at pick 236 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The roster logic is harder to follow.
Pick245 Rnd7 Jayson Jones
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jayson Jones this early at Round 7, Pick 25. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
