Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans let Thornton Jr. fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

Thirty-one other rooms let Dont'e Thornton Jr. slide, and the Texans were the ones holding the card at Round 7, Pick 20. Highway robbery.

The Mauigoa reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They will regret leaving running back for another day if the season turns on it.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
In slot 25 they get a plug-and-play piece up front at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
They talked themselves into Donovan Jackson at the Round 2 slot, and the board did not agree. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick79 Rnd3 Jalen Royals
They let Jalen Royals come to them and pounced at pick 79. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick89 Rnd3 Joshua Farmer
Joshua Farmer at pick No. 89 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick166 Rnd5 Nohl Williams
Nohl Williams at the 166th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick236 Rnd7 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Dont'e Thornton Jr. at the 236th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick241 Rnd7 Francisco Mauigoa
Francisco Mauigoa at Round 7, Pick 25 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
