Draft Grade — Texans
Overall D-
ValueB+ NeedB TradesF FutureD+
The Texans bled value on every deal, hence the D-.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Texans shredded theirs for Damien Martinez. He came off 61 spots early, and the room will hear about it.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. That Milroe pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.

In short, the board sent warnings, and they will be hoping it was wrong.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In Round 1, Pick 30 they get a sticky cover corner, outstanding value to boot.
Pick31 Rnd1 Will Campbell
They robbed the room for Will Campbell here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick33 Rnd2 Jack Sawyer
A edge rusher of that caliber at the 33rd overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick57 Rnd2 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter in pick No. 57 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick60 Rnd2 Devin Neal
Value with a capital V on Devin Neal in pick 60, a genuine coup. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick61 Rnd2 Colston Loveland
Nice patience on Colston Loveland, who had no business lasting to the Round 2 slot. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick64 Rnd2 T.J. Sanders
T.J. Sanders in the 64th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick77 Rnd3 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. at the Round 3 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick94 Rnd3 Evan Stewart
Evan Stewart in No. 94 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick105 Rnd4 Jalen Milroe
Jalen Milroe at Round 4, Pick 4 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick130 Rnd4 Lander Barton
You do not let a linebacker like Lander Barton reach pick No. 130 and blink. They did not. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick141 Rnd5 Samuel Brown
Samuel Brown in the 141st pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick164 Rnd5 Damien Martinez
They left a pile of value on the table to take Damien Martinez this early at pick 164. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick246 Rnd7 Jason Henderson
They took Jason Henderson at par in slot 246, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
