Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Texans worked the phones like thieves and earned a B.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Jayson Jones at No. 245 is 106 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. The David Bakhtiari deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Nubin
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a ballhawk on the back end at fair value.
Pick59 Rnd2 Mekhi Wingo
A straight-up fair deal on Mekhi Wingo at slot 59, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick86 Rnd3 Marist Liufau
Marist Liufau at pick 86 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick124 Rnd4 Malik Washington
Malik Washington in pick No. 124 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick128 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott at the 128th pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick168 Rnd5 Jaylen Wright
They did well to land Jaylen Wright in the Round 5 slot, just ahead of his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick204 Rnd6 Christian Jones
Christian Jones at No. 204 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick236 Rnd7 Ryan Watts
A clean, defensible pick in the 236th pick with a little surplus value in Ryan Watts. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick245 Rnd7 Jayson Jones
Jayson Jones at Round 7, Pick 25 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick252 Rnd7 Trevor Keegan
The board had cheaper options than Trevor Keegan at the 252nd overall pick, and it noticed. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
