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

The Texans torched the value chart for Gabe Hall, taking him 49 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.

On value alone, Pearsall makes the weekend a net positive. Leaving offensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with running back chief among the fixes.

Good work on the whole, with offensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In the Round 1 slot they get a disruptor off the edge. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick49 Rnd2 Malachi Corley
They left a pile of value on the table to take Malachi Corley this early at the 49th overall pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick92 Rnd3 Will Shipley
A conviction pick on Will Shipley at Round 3, Pick 29 that the board grades a round light. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick117 Rnd4 Jaden Hicks
They paid a round early for Jaden Hicks in slot 117, more than the board wanted. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick126 Rnd4 Payton Wilson
Value said wait; Payton Wilson in pick 126 says they were not listening. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick154 Rnd5 Nehemiah Pritchett
Nehemiah Pritchett at the 154th pick is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick234 Rnd7 Ricky Pearsall
The board fumbled Ricky Pearsall all the way to the 234th pick, and they scooped it up. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick238 Rnd7 Gabe Hall
Gabe Hall in pick No. 238 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
