Draft Grade — Texans
Overall C+
ValueC- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Flashes of a plan, unevenly run, for the Texans: C+.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Texans shredded theirs for Tim Keenan III. He came off 38 spots early, and the room will hear about it.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

Hit on Isaiah World and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Isaiah World
Isaiah World at Round 1, Pick 13 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It fills a real need, too.
Pick40 Rnd2 Jonah Coleman
They paid up for Jonah Coleman at pick 40 when waiting would have done the job. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick44 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
Anthony Hill Jr. in the 44th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jaeden Roberts
A reach for Jaeden Roberts in the Round 3 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. The roster fit checks out.
Pick108 Rnd4 C.J. Fite
A reasonable price with a little left over, C.J. Fite in No. 108. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick110 Rnd4 Tim Keenan III
They reached a country mile for Tim Keenan III at the 110th overall pick, and the board is aghast. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick153 Rnd5 Aaron Anderson
They jumped the gun on Aaron Anderson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick225 Rnd7 Desmond Reid
Desmond Reid at the 225th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick237 Rnd7 Jerry Wilson
They paid sticker price for Jerry Wilson in No. 237, and that is fine. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
