Draft Grade — Texans
Overall D
ValueB+ NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Texans cashed the board's mistake on Tuimoloau: D.

The trade table was where it all came apart. The Texans shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill. The math is unkind, and the D follows.

They punted on offensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Every board in the league had Burks lower, and that gap is the story. The Tuimoloau value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Tacario Davis
In Round 1, Pick 21 they get an island corner. More want than need.
Pick53 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
The board fumbled JT Tuimoloau all the way to pick 53, and they scooped it up. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick54 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, Kenneth Grant in No. 54, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick85 Rnd3 Danny Stutsman
They robbed the room for Danny Stutsman here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick86 Rnd3 Deion Burks
A conviction pick on Deion Burks at the 86th pick that the board grades a round light. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick117 Rnd4 DJ Giddens
Nothing to complain about; DJ Giddens went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick149 Rnd5 Lathan Ransom
No edge and no loss on Lathan Ransom in the 149th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick213 Rnd7 Theo Wease Jr.
A reasonable price with a little left over, Theo Wease Jr. in the 213th pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
