Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in Round 7, Pick 22: the Texans steal Skattebo and grade out a B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Cam Skattebo got past him. The Texans do not have to explain a thing at the Round 7 slot. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. Job largely done: running back settled and 3 of 8 of the wish list covered.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Tetairoa McMillan at slot 20 is the proof. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick52 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker in the 52nd overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It fills a real need, too.
Pick84 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
A straight-up fair deal on Donovan Jackson at the 84th pick, value and slot in agreement. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick121 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
A safety of that caliber at pick No. 121 is the definition of value, full stop. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick164 Rnd5 Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles at pick 164 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick236 Rnd7 Cam Skattebo
Circle this one: Cam Skattebo at the Round 7 slot is a fall that decides a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
