Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans cashed the board's mistake on Skattebo: B.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Cam Skattebo tumbling to the Texans in the 241st pick is a gift they did not have to think twice about. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with running back the one that mattered most. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In pick No. 25 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker at the 58th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick89 Rnd3 Deone Walker
They will replay Deone Walker at the 89th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick126 Rnd4 Luke Kandra
Luke Kandra slipping to pick 126 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It fills a real need, too.
Pick164 Rnd5 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. in Round 5, Pick 27 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick241 Rnd7 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at No. 241 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
