Draft Grade — Texans
Overall C+
ValueC- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A mixed bag for the Texans, and a C+ to match.

The T'Vondre Sweat pick is the one that will follow the Texans into the fall. They took him 35 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They banked enough surplus on Jones to cover a lot of smaller sins.

So much rides on T'Vondre Sweat that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 T'Vondre Sweat
In slot 23 they get an anchor for the defensive front, a steep price for the projection. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick59 Rnd2 Javon Bullard
They paid sticker price for Javon Bullard in the 59th pick, and that is fine. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick85 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil at No. 85 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick124 Rnd4 Malik Washington
A tidy little value on Malik Washington in the 124th overall pick, a step better than break-even. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick128 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg at the Round 4 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick161 Rnd5 Jaylen Wright
Jaylen Wright in pick No. 161 is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick236 Rnd7 Myles Jones
A quiet steal in No. 236: Myles Jones for less than the market said. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick245 Rnd7 Maurice Smith
Maurice Smith in the 245th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
