Draft Grade — Texans
Overall C+
ValueC- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans did enough to get by: C+.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Texans started one anyway for Jack Westover, 71 picks ahead of schedule. The final tally is a middling C+.

The offensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Running back was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

Hit on T'Vondre Sweat and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 T'Vondre Sweat
In pick No. 23 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher, though the board says they badly overpaid. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick59 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
Nothing to complain about; Payton Wilson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick86 Rnd3 DJ James
DJ James in the 86th pick is fair value, right on his grade. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick124 Rnd4 James Williams
James Williams at pick 124 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick128 Rnd4 Khristian Boyd
Khristian Boyd at No. 128 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick236 Rnd7 Jawhar Jordan
A wild overpay on Jawhar Jordan in the 236th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick245 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
Joshua Cephus at pick 245 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick250 Rnd7 Jack Westover
Jack Westover at the Round 7 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
