Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Texans for Skattebo: B.

The Texans spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Cam Skattebo, the No. 178 name on the board, in pick No. 235.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up. The cost of the Nwankpa reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In the Round 1 slot they get an anchor for the defensive front, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick53 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker in the 53rd pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick84 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
By-the-book stuff, Donovan Jackson at Round 3, Pick 20 squarely in line with his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick120 Rnd4 Sonny Styles
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Sonny Styles. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick164 Rnd5 Xavier Nwankpa
Value said wait; Xavier Nwankpa in pick No. 164 says they were not listening. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick235 Rnd7 Cam Skattebo
They barely believed it either: Cam Skattebo still on the board at the 235th overall pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
