Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
Grand theft in No. 69: the Texans steal Miller and grade out a B+.

You build a draft on nights like this. Christen Miller had no business being available in Round 3, Pick 5, and the Texans did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In the 30th overall pick they get a green-dot type in the middle, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 KC Concepcion
KC Concepcion at pick No. 38 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick59 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
They barely believed it either: Dillon Thieneman still on the board at the Round 2 slot. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick69 Rnd3 Christen Miller
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, Christen Miller in Round 3, Pick 5, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick106 Rnd4 Mike Washington Jr.
Mike Washington Jr. at the 106th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick128 Rnd4 Parker Brailsford
A slide stopped in pick 128, with Parker Brailsford worth more than the price. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick165 Rnd5 Tanner Koziol
Tanner Koziol slipping to slot 165 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick243 Rnd7 Cole Payton
Cole Payton in No. 243 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It fills a real need, too.
Pick244 Rnd7 Eli Heidenreich
They paid sticker price for Eli Heidenreich in No. 244, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
