Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in pick No. 241 lands the Texans a B, Skattebo and all.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Cam Skattebo, the No. 110 name on the board, stolen at Round 7, Pick 25. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

The cost of the Colby reach is exactly the players who went right after him. A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want. They left with running back solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In slot 25 they get a disruptive interior force, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick58 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Value with a capital V on Tyler Warren in pick No. 58, a genuine coup. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick89 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Somehow Deone Walker was still sitting there in the 89th pick, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick126 Rnd4 Connor Colby
Connor Colby in the Round 4 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick165 Rnd5 Rod Moore
Rod Moore in No. 165 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick241 Rnd7 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at Round 7, Pick 25 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
