Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueA NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans robbed the room for Amos. Final grade: B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Trey Amos got past him. The Texans do not have to explain a thing at pick 241. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Armand Membou
In the 25th pick they get protection for the quarterback, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick58 Rnd2 Ashton Jeanty
Taking Ashton Jeanty in pick 58 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick79 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins at Round 3, Pick 15 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick89 Rnd3 Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant in slot 89 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick166 Rnd5 Wyatt Milum
Circle this one: Wyatt Milum at No. 166 is a fall that decides a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick236 Rnd7 Alfred Collins
They robbed the room for Alfred Collins here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick241 Rnd7 Trey Amos
Trey Amos at the 241st overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
