Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B+
ValueA- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
Nobody dealt better than the Texans this weekend: B+.

The Texans clearly saw something nobody else did in Kedon Slovis, taking him 58 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B+.

That is a wide receiver worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick51 Rnd2 Amarius Mims
They robbed the room for Amarius Mims here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick65 Rnd3 Jonathon Brooks
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jonathon Brooks at slot 65. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick86 Rnd3 Bralen Trice
Bralen Trice at Round 3, Pick 23 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick98 Rnd3 Kris Abrams-Draine
Value with a capital V on Kris Abrams-Draine in pick 98, a genuine coup. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick101 Rnd4 Jaden Hicks
Jaden Hicks is a better player than the Round 4 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick119 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Zak Zinter in the 119th pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick123 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
A slide stopped in the 123rd overall pick, with Cedric Gray worth more than the price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick127 Rnd4 Javon Baker
Javon Baker at the 127th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick188 Rnd6 Jordan Jefferson
Jordan Jefferson in pick No. 188 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick247 Rnd7 Kedon Slovis
They left a pile of value on the table to take Kedon Slovis this early at No. 247. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
