Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Texans and Warren: B.

Call it larceny. Tyler Warren sat on the board until slot 89, and the Texans did not need to be asked twice. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

If Griffith pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The running back hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

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.

Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 T.J. Sanders
T.J. Sanders in pick 25 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick58 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Somehow Tyler Booker was still sitting there in No. 58, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick89 Rnd3 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren at pick No. 89 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick126 Rnd4 Jaylin Noel
The board had cheaper options than Jaylin Noel at the Round 4 slot, and it noticed. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick165 Rnd5 Sonny Styles
Circle this one: Sonny Styles at the 165th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick241 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
They reached into another round for Thor Griffith, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
