Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Texans: B-.

The Texans spent real capital to be 71 picks early on Jack Westover, and the board is going to hold them to it.

Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with running back the one that mattered most.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Kris Jenkins
In the Round 1 slot they get a disruptor off the edge, though the board says they badly overpaid. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick59 Rnd2 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in the 59th pick is fair value, right on his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick86 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
A conviction pick on Brenden Rice at Round 3, Pick 23 that the board grades a round light. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick124 Rnd4 James Williams
James Williams at the 124th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick128 Rnd4 Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson at pick No. 128 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick236 Rnd7 KT Leveston
No edge and no loss on KT Leveston in slot 236; it is a wash and a sensible one. It fills a real need, too.
Pick245 Rnd7 Jawhar Jordan
Jawhar Jordan at pick 245 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick250 Rnd7 Jack Westover
Jack Westover in pick No. 250 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
