Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans won the night they stopped Winston Jr. from sliding. Grade: B.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Kevin Winston Jr. tumbling to the Texans in pick No. 164 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

They are betting Capehart proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The running back hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but running back.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In the Round 1 slot they get a No. 1 receiver at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick53 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Value with a capital V on Tyler Warren in No. 53, a genuine coup. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick84 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson in pick No. 84 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick120 Rnd4 DeMonte Capehart
DeMonte Capehart at pick 120 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick164 Rnd5 Kevin Winston Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Kevin Winston Jr. at the 164th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick235 Rnd7 Xavier Nwankpa
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Xavier Nwankpa in the 235th pick, plain and simple. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
