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

Every other box got a look, but interior defensive lineman did not. The Texans will head to camp with the same hole they walked in with.

Every board in the league had Ugwu lower, and that gap is the story. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In Round 1, Pick 26 they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell in slot 49 is fair value, right on his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick92 Rnd3 Zach Frazier
Zach Frazier at pick No. 92 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick117 Rnd4 Roman Wilson
A reasonable price with a little left over, Roman Wilson in No. 117. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick126 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
By-the-book stuff, Khyree Jackson at the 126th pick squarely in line with his ranking. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick154 Rnd5 Devin Neal
A straight-up fair deal on Devin Neal at the Round 5 slot, value and slot in agreement. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick234 Rnd7 Jahdae Barron
Jahdae Barron in pick 234 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick238 Rnd7 Brian Ugwu
They paid a round early for Brian Ugwu in the 238th overall pick, more than the board wanted. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
