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

The Texans spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: R.J. Mickens, the No. 213 name on the board, in the 236th pick. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In the 25th pick they get a mismatch in the passing game, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Jonah Savaiinaea
They let Jonah Savaiinaea come to them and pounced at slot 58. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick79 Rnd3 Jalen Royals
Jalen Royals in pick No. 79 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick89 Rnd3 Charles Grant
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Charles Grant. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick166 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Bhayshul Tuten at pick 166 is the proof. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick236 Rnd7 R.J. Mickens
The board fumbled R.J. Mickens all the way to the Round 7 slot, and they scooped it up. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick241 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
Cam Jackson at the 241st overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
