Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The tape said wait; the Texans did not. Hayden Conner went at the Round 7 slot, a good 34 picks before the board was ready. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Riley at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with running back the one that mattered most.

They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kaleb Johnson
In the 25th pick they get a workhorse for the backfield, a steep price for the projection. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick58 Rnd2 Wyatt Milum
A straight-up fair deal on Wyatt Milum at Round 2, Pick 26, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick79 Rnd3 Dylan Sampson
They read the board right and Dylan Sampson was the payoff at slot 79. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick89 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Omarr Norman-Lott in the 89th overall pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick166 Rnd5 Quincy Riley
Quincy Riley in pick 166 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick236 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
They left a pile of value on the table to take Hayden Conner this early at pick No. 236. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick241 Rnd7 Ja'Corey Brooks
No edge and no loss on Ja'Corey Brooks in No. 241; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
