Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueA+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans let Skattebo fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

You could see the war room lean forward. Cam Skattebo at pick No. 241 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it. Running back was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In No. 25 they get a load in the middle at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick58 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker in pick 58 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick89 Rnd3 Tyler Warren
You do not let a tight end like Tyler Warren reach pick No. 89 and blink. They did not. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick126 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
Somehow Andrew Mukuba was still sitting there in the Round 4 slot, and they pounced on premier safety value. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick164 Rnd5 Luke Kandra
The board fumbled Luke Kandra all the way to slot 164, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick241 Rnd7 Cam Skattebo
They barely believed it either: Cam Skattebo still on the board at Round 7, Pick 25. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
