Draft Grade — Texans

The phones sank the Texans this weekend: D-.

The Layden Robinson pick is the one that will follow the Texans into the fall. They took him 44 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

The Lovett steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, quarterback very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In the 24th overall pick they get a bendy edge with upside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick25 Rnd1 T'Vondre Sweat
In pick No. 25 they get an anchor for the defensive front at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick33 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
Nothing to complain about; Xavier Worthy went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick95 Rnd3 Graham Barton
A conviction pick on Graham Barton at the 95th pick that the board grades a round light. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick121 Rnd4 James Williams
James Williams at slot 121 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick124 Rnd4 Jaheim Bell
Jaheim Bell in Round 4, Pick 24 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick158 Rnd5 Tahj Brooks
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Tahj Brooks in the 158th overall pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick200 Rnd6 Tony Grimes
Tony Grimes at the 200th pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A pick in search of a role on this roster.
Pick240 Rnd7 Layden Robinson
Layden Robinson at pick No. 240 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The roster fit checks out.
Pick242 Rnd7 Dominic Lovett
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Dominic Lovett in Round 7, Pick 22, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
