Draft Grade — Texans
Overall C
ValueB+ NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Texans let Thornton Jr. fall and pounced. Final grade: C.

You build a draft on nights like this. Dont'e Thornton Jr. had no business being available in pick 236, and the Texans did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

Every board in the league had Frazier lower, and that gap is the story.

The verdict is a shrug for now, with the swing picks left to write the real ending.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In pick No. 25 they get a matchup weapon at tight end, outstanding value to boot.
Pick69 Rnd3 Marcus Mbow
Marcus Mbow at pick 69 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick77 Rnd3 Dylan Sampson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Dylan Sampson at No. 77. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick79 Rnd3 Elic Ayomanor
The board fumbled Elic Ayomanor all the way to the 79th overall pick, and they scooped it up. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick89 Rnd3 Miles Frazier
Miles Frazier in slot 89 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick166 Rnd5 Emery Jones Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Emery Jones Jr. at the Round 5 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick236 Rnd7 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. in Round 7, Pick 20 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick241 Rnd7 Ricky White III
You do not let a wide receiver like Ricky White III reach the 241st pick and blink. They did not. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
