Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
Larceny in pick 236 lands the Texans a B+, Reed and all.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Texans watched Jaylen Reed slide 48 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B+.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Emeka Egbuka at No. 33. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick39 Rnd2 Colston Loveland
Colston Loveland slipping to Round 2, Pick 7 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick58 Rnd2 Jonah Savaiinaea
They let Jonah Savaiinaea come to them and pounced at the Round 2 slot. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick72 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
Nice patience on TreVeyon Henderson, who had no business lasting to the 72nd overall pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick79 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins in pick 79 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick89 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
A tidy little value on Ozzy Trapilo in the 89th pick, a step better than break-even. It fills a real need, too.
Pick94 Rnd3 Charles Grant
They did well to land Charles Grant in slot 94, just ahead of his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick109 Rnd4 Jaylin Noel
Jaylin Noel is a better player than pick No. 109 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick132 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Cam Skattebo in the 132nd overall pick, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick166 Rnd5 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser at the 166th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick206 Rnd6 Kyle Williams
Kyle Williams in pick No. 206 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick236 Rnd7 Jaylen Reed
They will replay Jaylen Reed at the Round 7 slot for years; that is how good the value is. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick241 Rnd7 Jay Higgins
Taking Jay Higgins in No. 241 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
