Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB FutureB
The Texans kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

Some picks age like wine; James Williams at Round 3, Pick 22 will need to, sitting 50 spots clear of his grade.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. Running back was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Nothing gained and nothing lost at the table.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Adonai Mitchell
In Round 1, Pick 29 they get a No. 1 receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick36 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for T'Vondre Sweat. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick85 Rnd3 James Williams
They reached a country mile for James Williams at the 85th overall pick, and the board is aghast. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick124 Rnd4 Javon Foster
Javon Foster in No. 124 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick128 Rnd4 Edefuan Ulofoshio
They talked themselves into Edefuan Ulofoshio at pick 128, and the board did not agree. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick161 Rnd5 Isaiah Davis
A wild overpay on Isaiah Davis in slot 161, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick236 Rnd7 Matthew Jones
Matthew Jones in No. 236 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick245 Rnd7 Maurice Smith
They liked Maurice Smith enough to skip the value, taking him in the 245th overall pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
