Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
Best value of the weekend goes to the Texans for Giddens: B+.

The Texans did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and DJ Giddens fell into pick 236. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B+.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
They took Tyler Booker at par in pick 33, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
Pick58 Rnd2 Marcus Mbow
Nothing to complain about; Marcus Mbow went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick79 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
Nice patience on Jayden Higgins, who had no business lasting to the 79th overall pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick89 Rnd3 Devin Neal
Devin Neal slid further than he should have, and No. 89 is lovely value for the running back. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick94 Rnd3 Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor slipping to Round 3, Pick 30 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick109 Rnd4 Gunnar Helm
Steal is underselling it; Gunnar Helm at the 109th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick132 Rnd4 Charles Grant
Charles Grant in slot 132 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick166 Rnd5 Lathan Ransom
They robbed the room for Lathan Ransom here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick206 Rnd6 Jaydon Blue
Somehow Jaydon Blue was still sitting there in the 206th pick, and they pounced on premier running back value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick236 Rnd7 DJ Giddens
DJ Giddens at pick No. 236 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick241 Rnd7 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at the 241st overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
