Draft Grade — Texans
Overall D-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesF FutureC+
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Texans to a D-.

Some picks age like wine; Donovan Smith at No. 154 will need to, sitting 116 spots clear of his grade. A weekend that fought the value and lost, hence the D-.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

However the rest shakes out, Mullings at that price is a win they earned.

A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Grey Zabel
In slot 25 they get a building block for the line, even if it was a touch early. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
They took Aireontae Ersery at par in Round 2, Pick 12, which is nothing to complain about. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick58 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
The board had Xavier Watts higher than the 58th pick, and the safety fell to them anyway. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick86 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
Value with a capital V on Omarr Norman-Lott in the Round 3 slot, a genuine coup. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick89 Rnd3 Jared Wilson
They paid up for Jared Wilson at the 89th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. It fills a real need, too.
Pick100 Rnd3 Cam Skattebo
A conviction pick on Cam Skattebo at pick 100 that the board grades a round light. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick125 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
A tidy bit of business in No. 125, where Joshua Farmer graded well above the range. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick154 Rnd5 Donovan Smith
Donovan Smith at pick 154 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The roster fit checks out.
Pick166 Rnd5 Ryan Fitzgerald
A straight-up fair deal on Ryan Fitzgerald at Round 5, Pick 28, value and slot in agreement. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick181 Rnd6 Kalel Mullings
A running back of that caliber at pick No. 181 is the definition of value, full stop. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick219 Rnd7 Caleb Rogers
Somehow Caleb Rogers was still sitting there in the Round 7 slot, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick236 Rnd7 Kai Kroeger
They reached a country mile for Kai Kroeger at the 236th overall pick, and the board is aghast. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick241 Rnd7 Bilhal Kone
Bilhal Kone slipping to the 241st pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick246 Rnd7 Kevin Jennings
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Kevin Jennings well ahead of where he belonged. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick252 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
Isaac TeSlaa at the 252nd pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
