Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Texans, and a B- to prove it.

The Texans spent real capital to be 200 picks early on Warren Brinson, and the board is going to hold them to it.

That Belton pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In pick 25 they get a press-man option on the boundary, outstanding value to boot. More want than need.
Pick58 Rnd2 Kaleb Johnson
Kaleb Johnson slid further than he should have, and pick No. 58 is lovely value for the running back. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick79 Rnd3 Jackson Slater
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jackson Slater in Round 3, Pick 15, miles early. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick89 Rnd3 Warren Brinson
Value said wait; Warren Brinson in the Round 3 slot says they were not listening. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick166 Rnd5 Chimere Dike
Chimere Dike in slot 166 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick236 Rnd7 Anthony Belton
The board fumbled Anthony Belton all the way to the 236th overall pick, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick241 Rnd7 Dante Trader Jr.
A tidy bit of business in Round 7, Pick 25, where Dante Trader Jr. graded well above the range. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
