Draft Grade — Texans
Overall D
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The phones sank the Texans this weekend: D.

Somebody took the Texans to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it. It grades a D, and the process earned it.

They will need Dellinger to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. That is a quarterback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

On the needs board they went 8 of 8, with running back the one that mattered most.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Mason Graham
They will replay Mason Graham at the 30th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick31 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
They read the board right and Luther Burden III was the payoff at pick No. 31. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick62 Rnd2 Jonah Savaiinaea
Jonah Savaiinaea at the Round 2 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick63 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson at Round 2, Pick 31 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick73 Rnd3 Jay Higgins
By-the-book stuff, Jay Higgins at slot 73 squarely in line with his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick94 Rnd3 Kevin Winston Jr.
They took Kevin Winston Jr. at par in the 94th pick, which is nothing to complain about. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick95 Rnd3 Tacario Davis
Tacario Davis in No. 95 is fair value, right on his grade. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick131 Rnd4 Abdul Carter
Abdul Carter is a better player than pick 131 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick132 Rnd4 Gunnar Helm
Gunnar Helm at the 132nd pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick164 Rnd5 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson at pick 164 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick167 Rnd5 Garrett Dellinger
Garrett Dellinger in No. 167 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick244 Rnd7 Taylen Green
Steal is underselling it; Taylen Green at slot 244 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
