Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans cashed the board's mistake on Raridon: B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Eli Raridon got past him. The Texans do not have to explain a thing at slot 165. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want. On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with running back the one that mattered most.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In the Round 1 slot they get a downhill thumper at linebacker at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Olaivavega Ioane
Olaivavega Ioane slipping to the 38th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick59 Rnd2 Caleb Banks
Caleb Banks in the 59th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick69 Rnd3 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
Somehow Emmanuel McNeil-Warren was still sitting there in pick No. 69, and they pounced on premier safety value. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick106 Rnd4 Nicholas Singleton
Nice patience on Nicholas Singleton, who had no business lasting to slot 106. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick128 Rnd4 Logan Jones
They took Logan Jones at par in Round 4, Pick 28, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick165 Rnd5 Eli Raridon
Circle this one: Eli Raridon at No. 165 is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick243 Rnd7 Jadon Canady
The board fumbled Jadon Canady all the way to pick 243, and they scooped it up. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick244 Rnd7 Jalon Daniels
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jalon Daniels at slot 244 is the proof. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
